We decided to do some bank fishing on the Sol Duc. There were fish in the adult trap, and one fish on the 'bank'. There were lots of fish jumping too. Unfortunately, there isn't really a 'bank' and even with only ~8 people there, it was REALLY CROWDED. I found out that many of the locals don't even attempt to floss, they straight up snag. Big heavy spinners dragged in front of, and through, the mouth of the hatchery creek. One guy was even sitting there with just a hook, using his hand to lower it in the water and snag fish as they went by (I don't even know why he had a pole with a reel, should have just been using a beer can!) He managed a small trout, in the tail. Anyways, we travelled down the bank a bit, and found a spot we could cast of of a few trees that were up against the bank. Didn't get a single hit (or floss since that's what drift fishing is most of the time) River level was pretty high since there was a LOT of rain the previous two days.
