On the SW Washington coast we've seen a mixed bag. One river that usually finishes with a flurry was dead 3 weeks before the end of March closure. The other river I fish (I'd name them but I've had cyber-admonishings to keep them hushed up by several members) Usually slows in Feb. but had fresh nates rolling in until the bell went off. Very surprising indeed.
