With our very first driftboat trip of this King season under our belt, we now know the following information:
First off, that downed tree on the Kilchis below the park is still laying across the river. Chainsaw anyone? We made it through anyway.
Secondly, I learned, when anchoring in fast water……actually just don’t do it.
Thirdly, when fighting a trophy King, in said fast water on anchor, either throw your damn rope on a bouy or plan on loosing the fish in the most tragic way possible….at the boat.
Lastly, make note to self that the upper float kicks the crap out of the Wilson crowds. Seriously. Screw the crowds. Shorty, what’s up with the damn Olympic Peninsula? Get us a report on those rivers for the Winter Steelhead season.
Please enjoy a few pics from our trip…and LOOK FORWARD to a peak at my big King as it spits my hook at the boat….Video to come this weekend.

I agree, but we almost proved all that wrong! We definately need to find some other Rivers to float, the Wilson is played out! I think some people just enjoy the crowds, why, i havnt a clue, B
I am right there with you B dog. We did indeed, almost pull a rabbit out of a hat. I too, spat loogies with chunks all over the Wilson.
Shorty, where the hell can we fish on the Peninsula?
