I agree, mmmmmmmmmm


Wynoochee River had a abnormal run show up, early 90's. River was jammed with smelt, mouth to around Black Ck. I remember smoking "lot's" and taking them to work, Aberdeen High School, putting them out at lunch time.......all were gone in short time.

I agree, with this statement. Kalaloch area has a small run, that spawns in that area. The ocean smelt were better tasting.

I always cleaned mine......wife and my 2 boys wouldn't eat them if not cleaned.
