That whole river has become an extreme disaster. The only fishery in my opinion that has been worth it has been the Summer steel. The numbers of returning fish are far more noticeable than the winters. They took a spinner, spoon, worn, bait, dry fly you name it. I would have 3 or more in 1 outing at times. One trip I had three out of one pool all on a dry fly. Itll be a cold day in hell if I ever landed a Spring these days on the Chehalis and hatchery Coho have been very elusive. Not anywhere what it used to be. I can remeber seeing the pools so thick with Coho the bottom of the river looked black.
