Tip a #4 blue fox with shrimp and you will notice a difference.

Seen some caught in the bay today. Got one silver and released a king today.

Tried that!

It looks like the Regs say we can keep 1 silver weather its hatchery or native.
Is that right?

That is true below the Monte bridge. Above there is two Coho, but hatchery only.

I find this years rules ( different above bridge and below) confusing. I fish up or down depending on tides, fish movement etc. If I catch an unclipped fish in the morning below the bridge, the regs say I'm done. Can I then fish above the bridge and try for a clipped fish?

Call WDFG and let us know the outcome. I'd also like to know.

I asked this question to a warden last year, different river but similar scenario..  Once you have caught a salmon limit on a river system that day, you are done.

What bridge are you talking about. You can keep a native silver above the chehalis river bridge in Aberdeen and also below it in marine area 2-2. But only a total of 1 per day

The Highway 107 bridge (Montesano Boat Launch) diffent rules above and below this year.

Fished behind Walmart this afternoon, had 2 hits but no hook ups. Watched one guy lose a Jack and another land about a 12lb bright chrome silver

Try around the mouth of the Satsop.  They are in the river, just waiting for a little rain

[Kc_Kracker]

Sea lions are up the Chehalis under the bridge at Montesano.

Sea lions are up the Chehalis under the bridge at Montesano.

They were at the mouth of the satsop last week.

Anyone been doing any good?   I fished the last 4 days in the bay with only two fish on and none landed.  Pretty slow for the boats
