Seabeck, I hope you are right about a December fishery for coho in the Chehalis system . I talked to Larry Phillips (who is no longer with WDFW) last year about the lack of wild steelhead in the system in December and that it should be open for late timed hatchery coho during that month. He didn't seem to be very interested in having that fishery.
I hope you are right but I will believe it when I see it.
