When i was on my trip over to quinault lodge to do some work i was asking about chums, due to the time of year i thought it would be something to fish for over there..........I was surprised when i was told that the coastal rivers dont get big runs of chums........Im not gonna give reasons because i have no idea , but would love to see runs over on the coast as large as the ones we used to get on the snohomish system......i say used to because since the heavy gill netting off of the shore of mukilteo, we havent seen a fantastic chum run in about 5-6 years...................
