All of the rivers of the Olympic Peninsula drain out of the Olympic Mountains and flow into the Pacific Ocean, The Strait of Juan de Fuca and Hood Canal in a circular pattern like the spokes of a wheel. The Sol Duc, Bogachiel and Hoh Rivers retain their Indian names and much of the area remains a wilderness. The west end of the peninsula is a rain forest that can get over two hundred inches of precipitation a year with world record sized Douglas Fir, Sitka Spruce, Western Hemlock and Red Cedar. While the east side of the Olympic Peninsula enjoys a rain shadow effect. A native prickly pear cactus once grew in Sequim where it rains as little as 17 inches a year. This diversity of climate means that no matter what the weather happens to be doing you can find a river in good shape for fishing on the Olympic Peninsula.
