Well my take on the past 3-4 years is a little different than yours.....On the Chehalis side, I would say that 85 % of the fish, in October, are caught before the sports group at the Mall, gets a shot at them.

Many days, small boats and bankies from Chehalis mouth, 101 Bridge, clear to Porter are doing the "cast, cast, cast" or sitting on the hook, 6-7 hours with not many biters. These sportspeople have every right to have the same opportunity, as the gill netters and the in bay sports group.....just because your 1st in line, doesn't give you the right to "pull off many of the biters" before the "in river fisherman does or even gets a chance".

In river being from 101 bridge, which is defined as the Chehalis River mouth, to the Chehalis tribe and waters beyond.
