Unreal.

The chehalis is navigable water. Below the high water is legal and fine to walk. Also the reservations southern border is the river. The whole opposite bank is private/public land.

Chehalis Tribe’s intent to charge anglers for permits, issue citations If this stands, it will certainly set a precedent.

Nah. It'll open. Upper snoho may open as well is what I heard.

I mean any lure fished long enough will eventually catch a fish. There are just certain presentations which make that time significantly shorter. Swinging flies vs stripping is one of those situations for coho in my opinion.

I dont need another one of these. But I want it.

News to me. I know a guy who was ticketed for fishing closed waters ~2024. A couple wardens patrolling 2 seem like they are looking for any excuse. Cotton ball catching a pinched barb kind of stuff.

Grandpa with the bear that was getting into their apple orchard. Black Diamond late 1940s.

Maybe I'm taking crazy pills, but isn't 8-2 normally open for the everety coho derby?

Are those anglers targeting salmon on the north fork in the room with us right now?

Yup. Hatcheries aren't marking like 25% of their fish for "statistical purposes". Those unmarked hatchery brats still count as wild encounters though...

Oh look blatant fucking with our season for their economic gain. They havent had to monitor the snohomish system since February this year and didnt bother with the spring skagit system. Some how 1/10th the normal monitoring is too costly but we can spend $5,000,000 to give the tribes electric...
