Time: 12:30-2:30pm: Fished Queets river near the 2nd boat drop just past Matheny Creek off Lower Queets Valley Road. Fishing for Steelhead. Six trailers on the sand bar, 6-8 vehicles at the pickup on the downriver bend crossing the Salmon River.  When leaving after a frigid afternoon of wading and the rain began falling I saw 2 drift boaters pickup a trailer, but no fish.
