Title: ...not as exotic as an Atlantic but...
Post by: Spoonman on October 22, 2017, 05:39:20 PM: ....out of place. Released a clipped chinook Sat morning at Chehalis. Thought it was a chum at first because it did not fight like a coho , just bulldogged. Seemed to be a typical white compared to the reds I've seen there, bronzed up with a couple of yellow spots on the belly, about 10 lbs.. Have never landed one there and its been 20-25 yrs since I have seen anything in the water in the fall I thought was a chinook...

Post by: joshhowat on October 22, 2017, 07:07:38 PM: I have landed 3 springs (white) in the chehalis over the last 10 years. I have also seen a school once. I think some times Harrison white come in all lost after high water.

Chehalis whites come n go in numbers, but definitely a surprise more than normal, took in a head from one recently

Post by: hammer on October 23, 2017, 10:18:59 PM: I caught a few over the years during the fall..more common a while back when main flow went on the Pretty's side. I can't remember if they were clipped or not.
