Headed out to the chehalis at first light, things looked promising, enough water nice colour ect. but the coho seemed to be few and far between, only spotted a couple in the hatchery channel amoungst the hundreds of chum. We drifted a few runs, caught some chum and a coloured jack spring and decided there were so many chum finding a coho would be like finding a needle in a haystack so off to the vedder we went. First drift down from lickman road and I hook a silver coho jack that came unbuttoned after a couple fiesty jumps :-\ ended up down at the canal just in time for a quick downpour of sleet and hail, caught several chum at the canal, a couple were very fresh, then we called it a day.

Yes i also hit the chehalis today ,i thought there would be more coho around with the water up considerably,most of the coho i saw were moving upstream at a pretty good pace,i did manage to land 1 10lb hatchery and 1 4lb rainbow i only saw 2 other coho hooked in the five hours i fished ,both were hatcheries around 9lbs,lots of chums around if thats your cup of tea,as of 12 noon the river was dropping pretty steadily ,even though the weather was terrible out there today it was still good to be out.
