When the lower Chehalis, gets mudded up, which could happen after this weekend, then trolling is LESS popular. The marine area, below 101 bridge, because of the "tidal action" will be the last to be un-fishable. If you are a "troll fisherperson", lot's of rain is "not what you want to see".

On the other hand, rain is what is needed to get fish into the Humptupils, Wynoochee, Satsop, to the Upper Chehakis and all the other feeder streams to the Chehalis. The negative part, for Sport Fishermen, is the gill and set netting, that is going on until later this month......and the QIN will be netting during November.

Today, October 13th is the only day will no nets in the river......better give it hell today.....looks like rain and 7 days a week gill netting, will signal to most fishermen, the trolling fishery is about over.

Head for the feeder rivers......enjoy 100's of your closest friends, either standing shoulder to shoulder, or, if you have a driftboat, the driftboat parade, or "like me" the jet boat group trying to get to point A.

Best of luck to all.......be safe........try to have a good time.

Remember NO Chum are legal for Sports in Region 6 but QIN and non tribal get a shot at them.......sure makes me wonder why this is allowed?????? Phil Anderson, Region 6 fish management, QIN......got a answer???????
