Every winter my family and I rent a cabin on the washington coast after x-mas this year we are doing it near Pacific beach and i was wondering what kind of river salmon/steelhead fishing there is to be had during that time. thanks

The closest sure shot to there would be the Humptulips, which is a safe bet for steelhead a nd a lot of fun. Then the quinault to the north and wynoochee to the east.

Depending upon the regs (haven't looked lately), the Satsop, Little Hoquiam, & Wishkah are also near by.
