That was in regards to the summer chinook and strelhead fisheries I believe. Opener on the 26th may indeed be delayed if they dont have paper chinook for potential bicatch mortalities and they havent been pushed through by rain. This opener is already the latest i can remember. Combing that...

Im beginning to think large return forecasts are nothing more than an excuse for treaty and commercial to harvest more than what is sustainable with the assumption that sporties will get shorted.

If 9 is non-selective today, it would have been nice to let all the guys sorting through wild fish to find hatchery brats.

Its almost like when opportunities are limited, systems that are open get extra pressure. I sure wouldn't be hitting the chuck at this point if there was a decent river option.

On snohomish basin chinook spawning. I was told the snoqualmie origin fish are more threatened and spawn later. I have caught chinook in the snohomish basin in late September. That being said, they have. Utilized selective openings in the past to mitigate impact (up to the pilchuck...

It can be done!

It's that time of year. Show me what you got.

I mean i dont fish them often (or nymph in general) but pegged beads gut hook fish 10000x less than egg flys.

Buggers. Always get a few targeting coho. Some of really good size. Later in the season beads/ egg flies.

100% this. Years of "good stewardship" claiming shit like this was sustainable is the reason we don't have chum runs anymore

I must of missed the chum brood stock success on the sky. That run is a shell of what it was even in the early 2000s.

I didn't need a new pair of g3s but ill be glad I have them in a couple years. I guess this is one way to not carry too much inventory.
