Rainbow Trout
While Hoquiam itself lacks easily accessible, high-quality rainbow trout fishing, a short drive inland to the Wynoochee River or Lake Quinault can provide some decent opportunities. The Wynoochee River, known for its scenic beauty, offers both stocked and wild rainbow trout. Spring and fall are typically the best times to fish, coinciding with salmon runs, which draw the trout. Lake Quinault, a large and beautiful lake, also has a population of rainbow trout that can be targeted from shore or boat. Trolling with spoons or spinners is a popular method on the lake. A local tip is to check the WDFW stocking reports to see when and where trout have been recently released. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the specific regulations for the river or lake you choose, as they can vary.
