Seems pretty easy to "protect stocks", in late October and November....shut down the fisheries.

Challenge is, in this basin, always affect the up river fishermen.....I just don't see ANY MOVEMENT to restrict fisheries below Cosie to allow even more fish than 4/3 provides for.

Late Coho, yep has been a fishery of mine for a loooooooooooong time. At one time, I could count on 1 hand the amount of people fishing on these fish, most people, on the Wynoochee, the Satsop, and even the Humptulips were in fact fishing steelhead.

Something changed....now seems to be more in search of these fish....more guides, more out of area jet boaters, and more drift boats....parking lots have been full.

Was really shocked when the Humptulips was re-opened......A river that has NOT made native/wild Coho escapement numbers in 20+ years......whats with this??????/
