I live in Central Park, retired, so I have time to spend "just watching" to see if there was any movement of fish.

There is a project just East of Montesano, still on going, where a fairly good size creek flows South to the Chehalis River. On the creek below the Hiway, there was a "massive culvert" placed in the creek and a new bridge over the culvert. This culvert and bridge is on a road with only a few house's. So what I did, during peak Coho and Chum times.....I'd park on top of the bridge, IPhone camera ready, drink coffee and just watch, tried to time my watching during incoming tide in the Chehalis. NEVER saw a fish....timing was late October - early December, when water color allowed me to see.

I remember thinking that with all those taxpayer funds being spent, why not a "battery powered sonar" to act as the fish movement counter????? Its only about 3-4 miles from Region 6.
