NASELLE RIVER OPENING THIS WEEKEND

[3dvapor]

ANYONE GOING TO FISH THE UPPER RIVER ON SATURDAY?  i might float it.  it used to always open on a week day.

[WDFW Hates ME!!!]

Regs stated it opened on the 1st... Maybe i read tham wrong. I havn't fished it this year. been really slow according to my buddies that fish it.

you must be friends with a land owner there.  that's got to be a neat little river to go on a float on.

I hope I'm right about the upper river above hwy4 bridge to hatchery and above I thought was closed through the 15th.  Long drive but that river can be incredible at times.  I'm hoping to float it because its getting so hard to access.  I don't know where ill put in yet.

Looking at the regs right now and from the hwy 4 bridge to the crowne mainline (salme) bridge SALMON- oct. 1- jan. 31 min size 12 inches... daily limit 6 up to 3 adults may be retained. 2 may be wild coho 1 may be wild chinook. release chum...

unless im reading different regs it says temp hatchery weir to hwy 4 bridge closed waters aug-oct15th.  it used to always open midweek like on a wed. i hardly ever could go.  i havent been yet this year.  the regs on the naselle are kind of confusing.

[WDFW Hates ME!!!]

Boy you are right.. It does say closed waters in italics right above where it says open from oct.1-jan. 31. confusing... i better call my buddy that has been fishing down there and tell him to quit fishing above the bridge.
It has always opened on the 15th. It hasd always been a set day. But this year i read it like it was open on the 1st and figured they are changing it due to the ability to keep more unclipped fish.
I very rarely fish it above the bridge anyways. But i have friends that do and they have said it was piss poor so far. 1st 2 weeks of september was good for chinook and it just died.
