Was out briefly Sunday and while i expected the river to be somewhat higher than normal, i was really taken aback by the poor clarity..... 6 inches at best.  I had heard about some washout near Tamahi.  With the cooler weather i was hoping it would clear up but upon looking at the crossing river camera it doesn't seem like it has cleared up very much.  Just itching to fish some water where the fish can see my presentation.

I previously purchased new felts from Highwater tackle on the north shore and Larry's Sports would remove the old and glue on the new.  One set of my Simms are over 7 years old and have been re-felted twice now.  Because I was wearing through felts every 6 months I switched to Vibram (not as gripey) to reduce the wear rate which I augmented with studs.   Not sure if felts are still available at Highwater or if Larry's still do replacements, but may be worth calling.

there was a small washout last spring that was repaired prior to the July 1st opening. I also found the announced closure through to April 26th other than that nothing else.

According to Drive BC, yes. Road closed due to washout.

Edit: although according to this https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/transportation-projects/bc-highway-flood-recovery/2021-flood-road-recovery-projects-silver-skagit-road a closure was pre-planned and the washout that Drive BC refers to could be the 2021 washout. So 

I have seen a report that the road from Silver Lake to Ross Lake was again washed out during the atmospheric river events last month. Does anyone have any information?

Bait. Pink worms, fish them last and fast.

Indulging in Chinook salmon in cream sauce is a delightful culinary experience, especially when paired with homemade pasta noodles. For those who enjoy a bit of relaxation after a meal, immersing yourself in a game like Cookie Clicker can be a fun way to unwind. Combining gourmet meals with casual gaming creates the perfect atmosphere for a satisfying evening.

Yup. Just announced on Fred’s social media sites.

rescheduled to jan.10

I haven't looked into it for a couple of years now but I Believe its its split into the ISBM and ASBM, Governed by the PST for Coho and chinook between US and Canada, ultimately though it falls to DFO to manage and the split % is put into the IFMP.

ISBM and ASBM Definitions

ISBM (Individual Stock-Based Management): This management approach focuses on the conservation and harvest of individual, specific salmon stocks within their native river systems or specific marine areas. The goal is to manage each population separately based on its unique status and abundance, often used for wild or specific local populations.

ASBM (Aggregate Abundance-Based Management): This method manages fisheries based on the total or aggregate abundance of several different salmon stocks mixed together in a large marine area. It uses combined data to set fishing limits, which can be a point of debate regarding the protection of weaker, individual stocks that might be caught incidentally.

The Pacific Salmon Treaty (PST) describes an Individual Stock Based Management (ISBM) fishery regime that is abundance-based and constrains to a numerical limit the total catch or the total adult equivalent mortality rate for specific stocks within a jurisdiction’s fisheries. ISBM management regimes apply to all Chinook salmon fisheries subject to the PST that are not AABM fisheries or terminal exclusion fisheries. Several fisheries within British Columbia (BC) are under ISBM fishery management and all PST fisheries south of the border between BC and Washington State are under ISBM fishery management.
