I'm telling you right now, if the weather cooperates, you WILL want to be on the Satsop or Chehalis. I'm not saying that because I'm familiiar with them, but because it's easy water to float and read, you can keep kings AND silvers, and the fish are tough. I don't want to lose out to 12 5-lb. fish, I think we ought to have to WORK to land fish.
I agree that put-in should be roughly a uniform time, but you can't dictate how someone is fishing. If somebody wants to blow right through, that's their business. I can catch fish behind people, so if they want to race, let 'em.

The Cow or Lewis will be needed for an alternate, because if the rains don't come, the fish will be mainly in the Chehalis and they might be lockjawed and then I WOULD outfish you Orygunners real bad.

I guess the number of fish is easy enough to count, but I take it the biggest will need to be retained for confirmation.....yes? Are we doing biggest king/biggest silver, or should we just give the prize to Keith when he spanks the kings on his magic eggs? I trust everybody to keep an accurate count, and I think the "test kit" should be saved for a derby somewhere. I think we can trust everybody.
