You do know that you need a permit to operate on the Queets. Which requires insurance, special safety gear, a cell phone with reception or a sat emergency beacon, a state guide license and first aid/cpr certification. Unless you are a tribal guide. Any time you accept money to teach, practice or put on classes on a river you need to have a guides license through WDFW, which requires all of the above as well. If you are a guide, what service do you run? I'm always looking for guys to refer my clients to when I'm booked up.

Yeah it ain't really much of a clinic I guess when there is nobody around.

Haha! There's a reason the humptulips is popular. There are lots and lots of fish. More than enough to go around! If you don't want the crowds, let's hit the Queets. But don't you fish for bass?
