I'm not out to prove anything, just saying it's possible... I've tripped over a few good bites in the past on a lot smaller returns, if we see the real motherload this year I'd think it could happen again....

Great rebuttal! Tight lines, there on the move. If expected numbers do start showing I would see no reason why the season shouldn't be opened back up. I'm not sure why they stuffed the season in such a small area. They could open the river some to avoid such congestion. If the quota is caught shut it down. If not at least bring a little less stress to those in the fishery.


They didn't stuff it intentionally, the crowds were nothing more than the Willamette puking pulling everyone up from the lower river. On top of that the mighty power of the internet had everyone congested to the hot Davis bar/I5 bite..

Sadly enough, I've trolled Catepillar island for 12 years now to avoid the crowds but this year, it was discovered.......

On another note, the bite was nothing short of spectacular yesterday at Cathlamet and Kalama. The numbers I heard I'd call BS, but with some reliable reports sounds like it really happened....
