Elochoman River
Does anyone still fish this river. I have not heard anything about this river for quite some years.

Re: Elochoman River
I have never heard of the Loc Amen river. Where is it located?
By chance do you mean the Elochomen River in SW Washington?

Re: Elochoman River
I haven't fished it in years but it used to have tons of hatchery steelhead and fishing was good at the Beaver Creek hole right below the hatchery. I don't think that hatchery is functional anymore but I think there still is a hatchery run.
Don't worry about how you spelled it. I've seen it printed on maps and in books as Elochoman ("correct"), Elochomin, Elokoman, Alochoman, Locoman, and others.

Re: Elochoman River
I fished it last year for silvers and did well. I also hit it for steelies a couple times and didnt do to bad either. I was banking it up by the hatchery.

Re: Elochoman River
Yeah, it's a zipperlip. So, it should be just you and about 500 other guys fishing it on any given weekend.

Re: Elochoman River
OK. [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img] Since I have never driven there myself and it has been way to many years (20+) since I have been there can someone either send me an email (vinneyx4@aol.com) with directions or [img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img] maybe we can hook up and see what we can get into.
Just another reason to meet up with people and go fishing GOD life is good.

Re: Elochoman River
Yeah, its usually packed but there are also usually lots of fish. The best day I ever had on the Elochoman was in mid-December when about 10"-12" of snow fell overnight. Very few others made it down there but I did and the fish were in thick and biting! Caught 10 that day on eggs in one spot from the bank, on eastside below Beaver Cr hatchery.
