Coastal river closures
« on: November 26, 2024, 04:24:49 PM »
So what are the odds of being shut out of the coastal rivers again this year? It'd sure be nice to be able to fish winter steelhead again on our favorite rivers! I've been watching the emergency closures on WDFW and haven't seen anything yet but I'm sure its coming..

Rumor I heard is we are fishing with bait restrictions.

It seems like rain/snow is ahead of amounts in the years they like to close early.  So, maybe with higher water more fish escape.  But they take a lot of fish number assumptions from the amount caught/strikes, so maybe that would be working against a full season.

Yep, we'll be fishing. Funny that the closure dates are the same as dates that have been consensus among many folks in the field for years.

The Chehalis is closed above the Skook, but open below. Info on the Skook is further down the document.
Skook is currently open until Feb 28
