Bogachiel River – Forks, Washington

This is a great place to fish near Forks, Washington. Fished Bogachiel River at the Bogachiel Campground just North of bridge and on southside under the bridge near Forks.
Fishing for Steelhead. On the South side drift boat pull out there is great access, nice rocky bar to pull out on….you can almost fish from the truck. The boat drop in appears to be up Bogachiel Rd about 4-5 miles….very nice up there. Saw a herd of Elk up there.
CAUGHT ONE…with my bare hands. Check out the ugly a$$ Coho that had survived months past his due date. He swam right up to me, so i grabbed him by the head and tossed him up on the sand. A mercy killing for sure.

Time:2:00-4:00pm
Weather: 40 F
Water: COLD, Cloudy, washed out, muddy, High
Access: Great, a little 4WD helps to get onto the beach
Rig(best): Pink salmon float rig….corkies, yarn.
