personally,i think everybody ought to stick to the original plan.i've set the 6th of october aside to fish with and meet all you good guys of the bb's.i would think if we have to fish a bigger river they should be enough sleds to go around.i will also bet money it will rain by the planned date.as far as the amount of fish in the chehalis system right now their is certainly less than last year at this time,but their is also a 7 day a week ocean fishery going on,the commercials went in for 2 days sept4 to the 6th,the tribe is netting the river 3 days a week for the next 3 weeks and the commercial guys go in again oct 4th to the 5th for 12 hours more.as of sept 16th the ocean fishery has harvested 15,393 chinook and 64,459 coho,i would guess the actual harvest is a lot more than that.granted these are not all chehalis trib fish but all of the above has a impact on the amount of fish we are currently seeing.who knows how many fish the tribes are taking but i've heard they did well last week.scott
