Collective voice.

It would be great if we could come up with an agreement that we could live with and present it to WDFW before the 19th meeting. Francis I would expect you to take the lead on this...You have been the point man for the Chehalis fish now for a number of years and though I know very frustrating I certainly appreciate it.

Here is what I would like to see:

Commercial harvest managed on a quota system.

August 1 Opener from Aberdeen bridge upstream

2 Adult Coho 1 may be wild if the tier system allows for it. Retain 6 Jacks coho or chinook.

No Bait until October 15th

Non Buoyant Lure restriction

Designated LE on the river...I will donate my boat and time. (dreamer)

An understanding from WDFW that we as sportsman love to fish, but we are more concerned that the generations to follow wont have to fight so hard for the Chehalis Basin Salmon.

Fish checkers at every launch during the season, necessary if we are going to be managed on a quota system.

I'm sure there are more and boy do I hate having it be so complicated but I really don't see any other way.

I think a meaningless opener (August 1) is important.

Can we put a unified voice together?? I think we can lets add to and make changes...
