Just learned that chances are good that the commercials are likely to get Monday thru Friday of this coming week again on the Columbia...that makes 4 weeks in a row! Commercial catch is well over 100,000 fish....boy sure is nice of them to give us a 6 fish limit and then net the snot out of 'em.

Anyway...other fish to catch in other places.

Have Fun,

Jim

With the hatcheries getting swamped with way more fish than they need for brood stock there are some politicians asking why pay to produce these fish if they can't be caught. I guess it's just another down side of hatchery dependence for salmon runs.

where are you fishin jim (shhh.)

Just read the latest bulletin from WDFW. The commercials will get to fish Monday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM and Wednesday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. This will be the last commercial fishing in the Columbia of the fall season. Thank God!!! The Cowlitz and the Lewis should really start to heat up after they are finally done. Til then I hope that this rain don't blow out the rest of the rivers. Plan on fishing somewhere Sunday, just not sure yet. Will wait and watch the rivers Saturday night and decide then.
Good luck and tight lines, Jeff
