We were throwing spinners, but that seemed to really slow when the tide was all the way up. Any suggestion for the high water stuff?


My suggestion is to keep fishing. Sometimes they just go off at the peak tide, other times the river looks barren when the tide comes in. It is all about zigging when you should zig, and zagging when you should zag. Sounds like a lot of casting for 3 fish, but not abnormal for this time of year in the area. You could have been around the bend from a fresh school of fish that would have given you some great action during the peak.

The Chehalis can be really frustrating, especially with this really low water.
