I would bet that there was no permit for this.


Quick update, a local friend in the know told me that this project was fully permitted.

Satsop went up to 19000 CFS with the last high water spike 2 nights ago. I wonder how well it's holding up?

There's a HUGE cut being eaten away just a ways up from the mouth. Wonder if the high water has finally cut a new main channel at the mouth.

October was a record month for rain in Aberdeen/Hoquiam. Not sure about November, but so far we've had measurable rain EVERY day but two for the month.

All the "crap" in the Chehalis, behind the mall....tells me "something, somewhere is cutting away something"....

No fishing, where I like to fish.....so its time to crank up the boat and go for a "lookie lou"....

On the eve of the Winter Solstice, I'm thankful for the certainty of lengthening daylight ahead, incrementally and progressively longer with each passing day. YEE HAW!

I'm also reminded of days gone by... the GLORY days of December coho ascending the streams flowing through the place I now call home.







Too bad I was born about 15-20 years too late.

Doc:

Thanks for the memories.....sorry you were born "late", I caught your share!!!!

Too many QIN nets, too many sports fishermen, has just about wiped out this "late run" of big hooknose Silvers and most of the Native steelhead, many of the steelhead were also 25+#.

Having worked with Late Coho the perception of what was and is is rather complex. So no book but rather this fact and it is simply that Late Coho under perform to the normal timed Coho at around 50% on adults which make it rather fragile portion of the run.

The real damage was and continues to be QIN nets and Rec pressure. Now before everyone's blood pressure tops 200 you have to know the history some. Old Game after Boldt was determined to limit the tribal netting of "Native Steelhead" so they imported Chambers Cr and several other Dec returning Steelhead and planted them all over to limit native Steelhead catch to the tribe. In around 84 I got into with the Bio about the fact that this was wiping out the Late Coho by targeting the tribe in this manner and his response? " That's the Dept of Fisheries problem" This gentlemen retired from WDF&W just a couple or so years ago.

On the Rec side back in DW's time ( that is wayyyyy back sorry but true ) it was mostly local folks and some fishers from around as most Rec harvest was on the Chehalis pre Boldt and some time after. Then came the fishers out of PS which was a trickle that damn near turned into a traffic jam. The other inconvenient fact is just like a good friend of mine who fought to the bitter end ( along with most sport fishers & organizations at the time ) to keep the Dec returning plants going knowing the impact on Late coho. The plants would have ended sooner I think but the Recs kept it alive.

So now it is the QIN doing the most damage fishing Steelhead when few are present other than the remnants of native / plants and Late Coho but it was old Dept of Game that set up the Steelhead harvest system to protect Native Steelhead and the Rec angler. I believe the saying what goes around comes around fits.
