 Washington Tribes Change Fishing to Help Salmon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The Quilcene coho fishery, one of the most popular fisheries in sport and commercial circles, is of special concern to the tribes.
Because the run timing of Quilcene River hatchery coho is earlier than other Hood Canal coho runs, they overlap with the wild summer chum that are also entering the river.
Outside of Quilcene Bay, where there is less of an overlap between the coho and summer chum runs, the tribes have taken steps to time their fisheries to avoid catching summer chum.

The first 2.5 miles of trail followed the Big Quilcene River through forest, occasionally coming close enough to touch.
Emerging from the other side, the trail basically left the big trees behind once and for all, as climbing resumed through a meadow and up a hill to attain the pass and a junction with the Tubal Cain Mine trail.
Instead, I turned south and climbed steeply (but briefly, fortunately; this was definitely the toughest part of the hike) to a surprisingly wide plateau to get the best nearby views, with high and jagged peaks to the north, west, and south.

Perhaps the best steelhead fishing of the rivers mentioned here is in the Quinault, with the lower section of the river yielding huge natives and hatchery fish.
That part of the river is beautiful, but steelhead that get past the gauntlet of the lower river fishery are few and far between, especially in early January.
