I could see the whole month of August opened. Most of the fish, especially early on in the month, are usually bright.

September usually consists of dark fish... with the latter portion of the month being the smallish coho just starting to trickle in. Close the river during the month of September.

October first re-open the river to a 2 fish limit. There is no need for there to be a 4 fish limit... it draws additional, unnecessary attention to the river as well as a much higher harvest rate. October also perfectly coincides with the typical increase in likelihood of having increased flows, usually causing fewer fish to be snagged, released, and eventually killed.

Keep the season opened till December 1 and extend the season to the upper river as well while maintaining selective gear and C&R regulations above 101. Most of the steelhead typically aren't arriving till the end of January and the shortened season in the upper river is bogus...
