In reality the summer Skamania stock was not introduced to the Chehalis basin until 1979 and averaged only around 700 adults through the mid 80's.(mainly the Wynoochee/Hump) I was living in Westport those years and had a lot of time off summers so I floated the river tons in the old blue canoe. If you were were lucky you may find 1 a day but lots of blanks especially later in the summer as flows dropped.
The only time I ever saw another boat was one time a local farmer in a drift boat with 3 or 4 Hispanics swimming next to him. As I paddled by he claimed he was swimming his Mexicans, dog was sitting up in the bow.
