The fishing was just Hoh-K

Forks, Washington

• Matt woke up with a sore and very swollen elbow from falling yesterday 

• Drove over to the Hoh River at the Cottonwood Campground to fish; Google Maps was useless once we got there since the river has significantly shifted course due to past flooding - where the river once was, is now a vast gravel bed with uprooted trees and natural debris 

• We navigated our way to the river and started fishing; the water was a bright blue and quite deep; we drifted nymphs, eggs and pink worms, but only caught a few fry sized trout that were about the same size as the worms they intended to eat; everyone (except Oslo) stayed dry today; there were several nice spots along the river to camp 

• We followed the river and fished our way down to where a creek-like part of the Hoh rejoined the main river 

• We drove to the Hoh Rainforest, stopped by the visitor center and walked the Hall of Mosses loop to admire the density of the rainforest and storybook-like moss covered trees; we saw several banana slugs, which apparently eat poop and have 27,000 teeth (gross), lounging on the salmon berry bush
