PUBLIC MEETING ON COWLITZ RIVER FISHERIES SET FOR MARCH 26 IN CHEHALIS
Tacoma Power, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Cowlitz Fisheries Technical Committee will host an informational public meeting about Cowlitz River fisheries and hatchery programs from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, March 26. The meeting will take place at the Veterans Memorial Museum (100 SW Veterans Way, Chehalis, WA, 98532).

Attendees will learn about Cowlitz River hatchery fish production, salmon and steelhead populations, and the Cowlitz River Fisheries and Hatchery Management Plan annual review process.

The public will have an opportunity to ask questions and provide input at the meeting.

This will be the first of several public meetings in 2015 that will focus on the process used to set hatchery fish production and make recommendations to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife about Cowlitz River fisheries.

Will cfm and rj be there?

I hope so.
I have seen Bob at everyone I have attended.

I wish everyone had the passion those two have.

If all sport fishermen stood up and went to a meeting or two our recreational situation would be much different.

Unfortunately most of the fishermen in this state don't ever go.

good for them. unlike most everyone here at least they have tried.

I went, normally I don't attend due to my hearing impairment, I was the old phart that asked them what are the % of competent clipping of smolts.

I mentioned that a few years back there were almost 900.000 fall king smolts that were "accidentally released unclipped"... They came back that yes that was unfortunate.....
I wonder if all these so called wild fish that have been showing up in increased #'s are the result of their implementation of hatchery wild fish.. UNCLIPPED!!!
