Hands down it brings more into the local economy for the bankie to fish than anyone else. Gas, gear, food, etc... it has always the bankie that brings in more revenue, this includes the individual who goes out in a boat. Commercial revenue and charter revenue goes mostly out of district and to the state in taxes, fees, licenses and however else the state can take their cut.

Somewhere there are facts and hard numbers behind this if I can find them again. Last time I saw them they were in print.

Now, does anyone else know how to fish the lower Chehalis and have any reports?
