As someone that has fished around the "pump houses" for way longer than most that post on here, I can tell you that the amount of people that have fished in December is limited in number.

Many times, most, I used to have the whole river to myself in December and January. Yes, the river used to be open in January.

In the "old days", many fishers had NO IDEA of the amount of Coho that were available November - January. Ya, there were some bank fishers, but they were fishing steelhead.

There are some reasons for this, most areas of the State, salmon are long gone in tide waters by November and on. Another reason in, high waters or just out and out CRAPPY weather.

I'm betting there will be a December fishery.....ya there might be some tribal fishers in the lower river but they are few in number.
