I was asked to post up the proposed REC seasons for Grays Harbor so here you are. Biggest changes are the return of the early summer fishery on the Chehalis, two rod endorsement for the Chehalis but only above the 101 bridge to the South Elma Bridge, and a two bag limit in 2C and a overall expanded season. The two rod bit will primarily help those fishing from boats but also the plunkers. 2C has limited ( & poor ) access. It works for those who want to dodge the crowds and put up with the inconvenience. Keep in mind this is only proposed at the minute and could change.
