The wildest, meanest steelhead in the country!
February and March are prime time on Washington state's Olympic Peninsula. G.R.A floats several different rivers in search of wild chrome, the Hoh, the Bogachiel, Calawah, Sol Duc and Clearwater river.
Out of the boat swing only. I enjoy to teach spey casting, and strive to improve your knowledge, presentation and approach. I have been working with Dec Hogan for years so its my version of his techniques.The power wedge! I offer my spey rods and line systems to use, as well as hand tied flies, and a well organized drift boat or raft. Your day starts at the Forks Thriftway at 7 am and we will be off the water around 5. Groups of 4 or more contact me early for the best days and extra guide preference . $500.00 for two/one clients single day You will need a lunch, lodging and license prior to meeting us. |
