the vedder is the only river anyone should bother fishing.  it has lots of room.    lots of fish   :)

The Fraser sometimes has one or two fish as well and a bit of leg room.

I used to fished the Chehalis river a lot back in hey-days (late 80's and 90's) where there were millions of chums and lots cohos too. I find that by mid-late Nov. to Dec. was best time to fished for coho because most of the chums have die-off.

I have not fished the Chehalis for over 9 years not because of crowds but slashed tires, break-enter, vandals etc. I seen them all. NO B.S.

Hi, I'm new to the forum, and went to chehalis for the first time today. did not catch anything but it was very nice to look at at least. any one have any insight on if its a waist of time this part of the year? we treked a bit into the wood but didnt know how risky it would get to get further up the river,. I tried float fishing with some wool, some roe, and then crocs. could see a ton of fish that appeared to be chum close to the banks but not 100%
anyways geuss just wondering if im totally off the mark on presentation for this river, or maybe just didnt find the right spot yet?
thanks!

Saw a lot of fishermen today from canyon to the lower part of the river, saw a few coho were caught at first light  and through out the day. So i guess you were at the wrong spot ;)  Hope you have better luck next time.

thanks. seems like an area with a lot of exploring to do! also do people just fish above the bridge into the canyon? I thought I saw a sign that said not to go below but not sure... we probably got there a little to late, coming from coquitlam it was probably about an hour after the sun came up that we started fishing
