Well my take is based on the "Coho jacks", I caught this year. I've fished jacks in the Chehalis River for about 50 years.

In general many of the Coho jacks were "bigger and heavier" than those from many years in the past.

Many of the Coho jacks were in the 17" - 19" class, I also caught a few in the 21" - 22" class.......were these BIG jacks or small Coho????? I have no answer here BUT based on my observation, there could be some BIG Coho in the 2021 Chehalis Coho returns.

Could be a fun fishery.....small bait of eggs, 13' rod, fast water....Coho in 14+ pound class........could be some "ass whipping in the future"
