Well, this year is odd......not unheard of, but odd. I'm not convinced fish are pouring in just yet and jetting up river. I just don't think they're here yet in any appreciable numbers.

What's got me wondering is coho haven't made any real appearance anywhere yet statewide. This time last year things were hopping. Late? Quite possible. I'm still hearing good ocean reports. Last year was a banner year for coho in the Chehalis basin. This year's forecast is supposedly even better but based on what I've experienced so far, it ain't happening......yet.

Way too early yet to send up any red flags. The next 2-3 weeks will tell a lot.
