In high water there will be some lines but lower flows no. The right line is getting more and more filled in. It’s usually a boat drag now. Last time I went down we had to drag kayaks, just no water. Still better than left.

We were on the Bear Ck section of the SolDuc last year. In one place the obvious main flow goes left with an inconspicuous trickle goes right. Well the trickle is the way to go otherwise it’s a nasty drop with no runnable line. Someone didn’t know that apparently. We saw the boat sometime later...

Way ahead of you,

Dry suits come in lots of models. For the best and really only practical use, the models made for kayaking/rafting, not scuba diving make sense. A person has complete range of motion. Some have neoprene Velcro cuffs and neck gaskets that are very comfortable but not completely waterproof. Maybe...

Here’s a dry suit story. We were kayaking the SolDuc down from Salmon Cascades with a group of about 6. In November, raining and in the upper 30’s - lower 40s. My friend Joyce is a very good boater but now has MS and is unsure of her roll but otherwise is very capable. We were in a calm slow...

Agree with Mr Cool. I’ve installed 2 one in my garage and one in my sons house we’ve remodeled in Forks. They are amazing and about 1/3 the cost of installed units. I’ve done all the wiring myself and honestly that’s the only challenge with these units. The Forks house is a 1940s that had been...

I have a bit more of a scientific approach all proportioned to the exact depth of the water. Something thicker down a ways til it’s kinda deep at least in the ball park, then a swivel followed by thinner line down a bit more to a knot with dropper fly. Finally thin line to the bottom fly. Hook...

Any ice on the lakes to the North of Soap?

Who’s heading over? I’m thinking about waiting until Sunday instead of Thursday with the opener being on Sat. I’m I going to be missing out? FOMO 😵‍💫

Looking at the forecast I think your evil plot has failed Mr Seegaaaaar….

Back in the day: Queets Basin, over the Jeffers Glacier then all the way out. Skyline, Queets, Valhalla’s. Skyline, Queets, Hoh. You could roam all over that country. Wherever you might want to go the elk have been going for millennia The Queets is the heart of what’s left of true wilderness...

Emily (leader of the raft trip mentioned) will blow you away with DO cooking. She led trips professionally for 10 years and turned that experience into a wildly successful bakery. Honestly just for the DO cooking alone this trip would be worthwhile. Even though she is my daughter I’m not the...

Here’s how to really up your game, impress your friends, turn your enemies green and have a great time. Plus (maybe minus 🤔) I’ll be there. https://www.nwrafting.com/buena-luz

I really like the Outcast oars. I come from a significant whitewater background and do appreciate solid gear. However like was said before, in the Clearwater, I don’t believe that the oars are the weak link, rather the patch that holds the oarlock. The lack of having a solid frame also limits...

Looking forward to another balmy opening day. And a cookie
