Thanks for the info. Definitely a bummer to say the least regarding the lack of progress and clarity on having a hatchery program. More than a few coho in the teens that would make for an excellent broodstock program. I just don’t understand why they would change retention two years in a row, from 2 coho, to 1 coho, and now to 1 clipped coho. All this will do is make other rivers in the system (we know which ones) more packed. Two that come to mind are already a zoo from Friday to Sunday.

That said, if anyone is ever looking for someone to pay turnaround fee on these rivers, or would like to join me on my drifter, feel free to PM me. I’m fishing this area almost year round.
