Post by: Sitka_Blacktail on September 24, 2015, 06:22:40 AM: A few different friends have been out. Just a couple fish taken. But the word is they are catching quite a few kings that they have to let go. Sorry to see those fish stressed out if they need to be protected.

Wow, it sure would be nice if they used those save nets so they don't kill the fish they are not targeting.

There are a bunch of kings in the Willipa and Hump but it seems the coho are still milling around in the Harbor

Post by: Harbor_hunter on September 28, 2015, 07:06:15 AM: Fished Sunday out of Cosi and it was dead. Nets back in now.
Title: Re: chehalis river
Post by: Martinhunter on September 28, 2015, 09:12:41 PM: Fished Cosi today 2 hrs before high tide and 2 hrs after and didn't get a darn bite. Lots of nets and lots of otters. Saw quite a few fish rolling but they weren't interested in anything I had to offer. We need about a week of solid rain!!

Post by: PolarBear on September 28, 2015, 09:50:12 PM: Did you try and tip a spinner with a little chunk of shrimp? It can make a big difference on lockjaw coho.

Post by: Martinhunter on September 30, 2015, 01:57:12 AM: No I didn't, but my dad was actually telling me I shoulda did that as well. I'll try it next time.
