Fish the nooch today with a buddy, not expecting to catch much but we did real well.
We bank fished the lower river, between the two of us we hooked six fish but only managed to land two, one about six and the other about twelve, the ones lost were in the ten to low teen range. Is anyone catching any fish in the upper river? Any info would be helpful. I'm curious, how come we can't keep natives on the chehalis system but the indians can? Look up the fish and game site and look at the indians netting schedule and you'll see they are netting the chehalis one day a week. They'll kill more natives fish in one day than the sportman will kill in a month. Believe me I know I'm a commercial fishermen in Alaska and i've been doing it for twenty years. Give the indians more casinos and ban all Gillnets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look how the fisheries on the Sacramento have rebounded. GOOD LUCK AND FISH ON!!!!!!!!!!!!! Practice C&R
