There are no fish in the Bogachiel or the Op and they dont bite flies unless they are juiced glow bugs that are being sidedrifted by a group of guides from Montana that like to drag them thru redds. That run he is fishing is swirly and to fast and Ive never caught a fish there. If the vampires and werewolves dont get you my pet racoon that I have trained to attack will. Lol

Shawn is right - this is a horrible place to fish - no good fly water and lots of ugly scenery - it is certainly not worth going up there to fish - Shawn just lives up there as he got kicked out of the great fishing waters in California!

btw dont even dream of bringing on of those fancy new fish rite jet sleds up here to fish.
You will get back to the ramp at the end of the day and your trailer will be sawed in half and your truck will be driven down some logging road and stripped and then set on fire.


Thats a true Forks urban legend. Even the Hells angels wont come here and mess with the loggers from Forks.
