The Queets River might be the most beautiful and scenic of all the Olympic Peninsula rivers. This 50 mile long gem runs almost its entire course through the Olympic National Park protecting the rainforest surrounding the river. The last few miles then runs through reservation land until it reaches the Pacific.

Winter months call fly anglers from all over to the Queets not only for its numerous and large native steelhead but also for the opportunity to be alone with just the fish and the river. These large natives begin their up river migration in January and usually end sometime in late March. The Queets also hosts a recognizable sized run of summer steelhead which are best pursued during the late summer and early fall months.

As you make you way towards the rain forest engulfed upper river, long meandering runs give way to more broken pocket water. This portion of the river holds native trout as well as char.

While many hope to fish the Queets, please understand the conditions change on a daily basis out here in the spring so any given day may alter plans putting us on one of the other rivers in the region.

Our Queets River steelhead fly fishing guides are excited to see you become a proficient spey caster and work hard to ensure each person leaves us an improved angler with a similar passion for the swung fly.

Single and multi day trips are available.  Please contact us for details on lodge options and to learn more about our multi day float trips on the Olympic Peninsula.
