Post by: johnr060 on February 21, 2013, 08:36:01 PM: Can't go on Monday. Saturday is the only day I can fish. Gonna be digging clams at twin harbors in the afternoon. Would the chahalis be worth trying instead?

Depending on the rainfall your limited. The Chehalis above the sop might be in still. But big water and less fish up there. You might think about the upper wishkah or upper Willipa....
Check regs though...

The sleds also launch at white bridge and head half way up to 7400. Should be quite the goat rope for whoever shows up!

Post by: BigGoonTuna on February 23, 2013, 09:35:39 AM: the pressure on that river is so insane these days, that it's destroyed the fishing on the upper river(by the trap). used to be almost a sure thing to hook several steelhead in a trip up there, now i'm lucky if i get 1 a year. that was only 5 or 6 years ago. they just all get caught before they make it that far now.

Agreed. Even the upper float is pretty picked over unless the water is really high.
