Memory Maker Is Back Online & On The River Again
Memory Maker Guide - 2005


After one of the biggest storms we have seen in years, maybe the century, maybe ever. 128 mph gusts destroying everthing in it's path. Lasting about 1&1/2 days. Usually storms just blow thru in about 4 hours, but not this one!!! Needless to say I didn't sleep that night. Hearing trees snap across from my house. This was on the 2nd of December 2007. Lake Quinault was a total blow out and of course that means

The side of the river banks seems to be more detailed.  It's like you're looking at a Rockwell painting...... (CLICK FOR MORE)

"As you can see by the photos on this web site there is some pretty good fishing on this river.  One of the best benefits is that you can only fish this river if you're  with a guide so the river is not packed with fisherman.  That makes for a quiet, peaceful day of fishing!  Don't worry though, as there is usually lots of action!"

Very Big Steelhead "AWESOME, TREMENDOUS & UNBELIEVABLE !!
By: Steve Robecker


I started fishing with "Benny" in the early 90's.   The first year was a one tripper, but since then I try to book 5 or 6 trips a year.

I can still remember the first trip, we fished a few holes and ended up in one of Benny's honey holes, which was across from ten a-clock creek.  I hooked a fish that I thought by the feel...

A Day At The Lake
BY: Webmaster

We hit the water around 6:30am and what transpired from there was one of the greatest days of Lake fishing I have ever had.

We were the only boat in the water. The sun was starting to come out. Within 10 minutes of trolling I hooked my first trout.

We traveled the whole lake and found our spot at the point and continued to hammer it untell around 3pm.

It was amazing watching the weather patterns change and the water go from calm to rough to calm again.

I also caught the coveted Dolly Vardon. I was at peace.
