Hoquiam River

Hoquiam River, in Washington, United States, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Hoquiam River is often the seam between two current speeds — that's where fish wait for food to drift past. Match the size of your bait or lure to whatever insects, baitfish, or crayfish you can see in the water.

Fishing Techniques

• For Pacific spiny dogfish

  Dogfish often school, so when you catch one, work that area thoroughly and use a chum bag to attract more. Use heavier gear due to their size and tendency to fight.

• For Steelhead

  Adjust your presentation based on water clarity and current speed; lighter line and smaller lures are often more effective in clear, slow-moving water.
