chehalis river stealhead
« on: January 21, 2012, 12:27:03 PM »
Went out on thursday the 19th and had a pretty good day on the river. I cought and released a 12lb native that I couldn't get a pic of without having to take it out of the water so was never able to snap a pic but then a couple hours later I hooked this nice little 6-7 lb hatch. All in all it was a good day on the chehalis for only fishing for a couple hours.

Very nice.  I am wondering what the this snow melt + rain will do to the rivers.  And when they will come back into fishing water?

The key to the chehalis is no matter how high it is as soon as it starts to drop you'll catch fish, I've cought steely's when it was 2.5 ft from flood stage, but it was dropping! I hooked one on new years day this year and it was 4 ft from flood stage, but again it was dropping.
