I'm sure that makes you feel so much better!

I feel about the same actually, got into some fish yesterday and will hit it again in a few hours when the the tide comes in. I love being so close to the hump and Copalis rivers. I'll never go back anywhere near the city again. I released a nice Sea run cutty around 18" yesterday.


So, how many casts does it take to get a Copalis Coho to bite ?

Gawd, I hate that pretty little river, even when they roll and jump, they never bite!

You need to be at the right place at the right time. I befriended a local who has been fishing this river his whole life 50+ years. Your best shot is at the mouth of the river on the south side, breakers only 30 yards away. Another good place is up in the Ghost forest where they are close to the spawning grounds. It's not a river that you're going to get into fish all day. If you want that it's only a 10 minute drive to the Hump. I don't like fishing around People and avoid it at all cost. Another huge advantage that I've noticed is getting up super early in the morning, you'll have a way better chance of hooking up. Nobody seems to know how big the run is. You can actually keep two wild Coho a day which is unheard of these days. Does anyone here know how big this run is? I'm dying to know. Most People just fish right off State # 109 before hitting the bridge. Last year a good morning with about 12 People fishing would catch around 6 fish on a good day....not the normal though. In January of 1700 a quake of 9.0 hit this area and dropped the landscape 6 feet and caused a tsunami that hit Japan and killed 15k People. We're due for another, they estimate there will be one every 300-600 years. This area is on the Cascadia fault line.
