The Chehalis opens for salmon Oct. 1. Trolling seems most popular for kings, altho other methods probably work. My cousin caught one once casting a spoon from the Weyerhauser pier where he used to work, but I doubt that's a high percentage technique. Casting spinners, spoons, and plugs for coho is popular, along with trolling plugs, and sometimes plunking a plug from an anchored boat. All kinds of boats are used on the Chehalis, but you can only run a prop a few miles above Monte until flows are consistently higher.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
