My friend was there this morning.  Not much going on.  He moved over to the vedder after a couple of hours.

A budy and I hit the chehalis today...water was a bit high for my liking but colour was good and there \was maybe 3 feet.

We hooked 7 coho.  3 long line release and 4 WILD fish...no hatches! smallest was 7 ish biggest was a solid 12lbs.

Tonnes of dogs to and they are all already dirty as anything.  we left around 11:30 and it was just starting the rain hard so I cant gaurantee the same water conditions tomorrow.  That river as we all know reacts quickly to rain and surprisingly it was consistant for the 5 hours we were there.

Remember to leave nothing of value in your vehicles as the Chehalis can be worse than the Vedder for breakins. >:(

 A tip, when I go there I park as close as I can to the concession booth so to deter the thieves some what.

Not that I want to wade ;) into one of those 'fun' threads, but I wonder about bringing a dog out there. Too many hooks laying about!!!

I couldn't look mine in the face if I had to take it to the Vet with a massive cut or worse.

Hmmmmmm??....

Not all fishermen are liars. but how many extra people will travel to the Chehalis this weekend based on these reports? 20?  According to my fishing log, in years past I've had very good luck on this river in years past. But i've noticed a steady decrease in fish in this system.  When i fish the chehalis i tend to fish the outlet area more than the canyon.

Anyway - a real report: about 12 cohos caught at the hatchery outlet, mostly by bait fisherman, most jigged and kept, a few honest hook-ups, lots of stale chums throughout, 2 coho caught mid river down from hatchery and mine, end of run down from hatchery. Lots of bear signs still, be careful. I only saw a few coho in an hours worth of hiking, very little happening there yet folks.

We did well today also, hooked over a dozen coho each on roe and walked out with limits. First light thing, although there were lots of fish around later on the switch turned off and they just wouldnt bite anymore.

When the coho are in and fresh, it doesnt matter what you huck.  They will take anything so i usually carry: roe, jensen eggs/wool, spinners, spoons, and my personal fav...home made jigs.
