well, 4 years ago, 2015....there were lot's of both silver jacks and hatchery Coho in the Chehalis River. Last part of August and 1st week of September, the river was "like the old days", bank fishermen and boat fishermen caught lots of limits.....yes the river was open for adult Coho AND THE LIMIT was 3 adults.

This is also the year that after the QIN and NT seasons....the whole Chehalis system was closed down for conservation.

Classic example---forecast "lots of returning fish", reality set in "missed forecast", over did the closure, there were summer run steelhead and Chum available...grrrrrrrrr
