In talking to ‘old timers’ who have fished most of their lives out on the Peninsula, the Hoko often figures in their memories as the place that they caught their largest fish. Good to see that efforts are underway to recover the habitat. – Editor

The Lower Elwha Klallam tribe and Rayonier have proposed a partnership to restore salmon habitat on the Hoko River in the North Olympic Peninsula. The project would add nearly 2 miles of salmon habitat to the river, in conjunction with the Elwha River restoration project that is expected to add 70 miles of salmon habitat. The 25-mile-long Hoko River empties into the Strait of Juan de Fuca at the Hoko River State Park, 4 miles west of Sekiu.
