Anybody know what is happening with the Chehalis? Are Coho in there yet?

Will the holes in up in the canyon be flooded by Mon?

 

[fisherman20]

Go take a look....how about that?

 

[Fairweather fisherman]

Just trying to get some info from anybody who has some knowledge about this river....not looking to get into an electronic pissing match. I WILL go have a look and WILL be giving a friendly report on how the river is.

Don't worry, I won't take all the fish in the river since I am fairly new to salmon fishing and just wanted some good insight to an area I'm not to familiar with. :naughty:

 

[Rib]

Let me know how it looks will ya Fairweather...? It should have fish soon, last I was there, the water was up but the fish just weren't around yet...

[Fairweather fisherman]

Ribwart,

When were you there last?

 

[Rib]

Couple of days ago.

 

[Fairweather fisherman]

Went out Mon.

Water was a little high but quite clear, hooked a nice chrome fish just down from the hatchery but lost it. Lots of pinks in still and a few dogs as well. Saw a couple of guys catch Coho but not too much action.

River has changed course since last winter. Lots of signs of bears but didn't see any (made sure to make lots of noise).

 

[fisherman20]

I sent a few people pics in PM's.....they have been there for a while, you havto know where to go :thumbup:

The bears are a real problem below where the Easter Seal used to be. Lots of track and fish carcasses strewn about. Be careful.

 

[Fairweather fisherman]

Where is the Easter Seal Run? Straight down river from the bridge before the river turns there was a really busy section, looked almost like something on the Vedder. Could this be the Eastee Seal Run?

 

[fish guardian]

Like I said, where the Easter Seal used to be is just a memory, much like the Ranger Run on the Chilliwack, only difference being is the new fangledRanger Run is hundreds of yards from where it really was. Time for people to make up some new pool names instead of being archaeoligists.

 

[Rib]

Yes, Fairweather Fisherman, that's the general area being referred to. Easter seal doesn't really exist anymore, but the pool you mention is basically the area that fish guardian is referring to.

What time monday were you there? Up until 10 when I left the river below the canyon, the river was greenish, except in 2' of water.

How is the campground looking. Did they fix up the area from the floods last fall? Can't wait to camp up there in a couple of weeks.

Cheers, Rob

 

[Chris]

Water was great yesterday and there are definately some fish around.

 

[Nicole]

I think the campground is still closed...

Maybe someone knows more recent info...

Seems like it's become a private residence, and that annoys me, as it is still crown land, owned by you and I.

Cheers,
Nicole

 

[fish guardian]

Gate was locked as of 15 minutes ago

 

[Marsman]

Was it locked? I know they close it but you can swing it open and close it behind you.

Cheers, Rob

 

[fish guardian]

Just took a drive up there Marsman, pin for the gate was dangling. River looked on the low side and gin clear.

 

[coho_killer]

Was there today as well as the vedder and the water is so clear but we did seea few fish around!
