For sure.

I don't think there is any such thing as actual over-escapement in the Chehalis basin with today's management scheme. Sure, the habitat has been altered the last 150 years but a lot of that habitat is still there and under-utilized. Do some late-season hikes in some of the tribs and you'll see carcasses strewn about here and there but it's far from "walking across their backs, they were so thick" as so many old-timers share.

And the managers are actually concerned about too many fish hitting the gravel around here? Speechless.
