Nothing seems to last forever anymore and it appears that the commercial interests will win again.


You need to get "your ass back out in the Chehalis".....I still have, and carry in the boat...."your zip locked bags".....miss you out there...below Fuller but above Monty....

It's a lot of fun....sitting on the hook, 4-5 hours, watching 1 rod, knowing the nets are taking more than thier share in the lower river.............. grrrrrrrrr

I see the "cowboys" have already caught more than the 525 Chum that were "available"......sportsmen wanted those to "go to the gavel" but cowboys said "we want those fish".....Ron Warren said "you got them"!!!! Now they will be over the available limit PLUS THEY ARE TAKING COHO, while they are allowed this extra fishery..... double grrrrrrrrrrrr Region 6 fish management bites!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just looked.......Cowboys get another netting time.. 10/28..... 7:30 - 4:30, to go futher over the limit ........... they should be completely shut off this fishery !!!!!
