Well the 90 day forecast is out and it is for above average temperatures July through September and very little rain. The hot then cool cycle we have been in appears to be going away and just the usual hovering below or above average thing. Flows are staying with the same pattern with the Chehalis at Doty near record low flows.

Some folks have been out and about fishing lately. With the closure of night sturgeon fishing things really have not been the same. In the last 20 years the number of fishers I see have drastically declined. Sign of the times I guess but I always enjoyed night sturgeon fishing and until the last few years there was always lights up and down the river with the ocasional period of shouting and hollering. This was ocassionaly followed by a boat kicking free of its anchor and spot lights flying around trying to stay out of the snags and brush.

Things change I guess but not for the better on the Chehalis are my thoughts.
