I fished Cook Creek this weekend with a couple good buddies. We ended up taking home limits of bright steelies. This 13.5 lb. buck wasn't the brightest fish I got, but it was the largest and I thought worthy of posting. It was wet, but we all went home happy. There were lots of people fishing the creek this weekend due to the Salmon being a little slow. We stayed at the Amanda Park Motel. A nice river front motel with very nice people running it.

Thanks guys! most of the fish ranged from 8 to 14 lbs. Tater lost one that easily was 18, but it came unbuttoned. He hooked another one that was that big, but a mishap with the net (glad it wasn't me) lost that one too. I couldn't believe all the damage done over there by the last storm. It looked like Mt. St. Helens went off again. There were stands of trees that were flattened. Oh yeah, for those of you familiar with the Nooche river road..that really big old tree that was out in the middle of the field? It was blown over in the storm. What a shame as I'm sure thousands of people have pics of that tree. I only needed a summer one to complete my 4 pic seasonal set of it. I didn't take a pic of it when we drove by last night because it was too dark. Bummer.

Nice going steelydan! You're right, the storm really messed things up over that way, didn't it?

Steely,
If that's the tree you showed me last year, I'm sorry for your loss.
Nice fish by the way. Sounds like you had a great time.

that is the tree Vic. it's firewood now. I bet alot of cattle hunkered down under that tree over the years to escape the nasty weather over there. Sad to see it go.

Where is Cook Creek?

Cook Creek is on the Quinault Indian Reservation. You'll need a tribal guide to fish anywhere on their land. Lot's of guides to choose from.
