I see from the QIN website that their last day of netting the Chehalis is Jan. 28 th. They have been netting 3 days/wee. Rivrguy and /or DrifterWA, do you know about how many Tribal boats have been netting? Lots or not many? Thanks.

No boats that I am aware off at least not day to day. Just a few set nets down low nothing up stream of Cosy.

I actual talked to 1 of the netters......He was running 3 set nets, told me that only a total of 3 people were netting.

60 QIN can net but just the 3 were working. I do know that some netters are now doing "crab", lots more $$$$$$$ to be made.

Sea lions were in the main channel and they were getting fish....sea gulls were there to pick up the pieces.

Tough go, not as many steelhead moving up river, not like when the salmon are heading up the river.

Thanks RG and DW. With warmer temps and some rain this week maybe a few fish will come in the couple of weeks before the Chehalis system closes on Feb 16.
