SloMoFishDad Smolt Registered: 01/25/04 Posts: 99 Loc: Everett, WA	spawnout is correct - not open yet. AREA 2-1 Aug. 16 - Jan. 31...ALL SALMON species - min. size 12". Daily limit 6. No more than 2 adults may be retained. Good Luck! $;\)$ _________________________ 'Tis a strange and bewildering place.

I best open both eyes next time. Anybody fishing the Bay? Good Luck! _________________________ 'Tis a strange and bewildering place.

spawnout Spawner Registered: 01/21/02 Posts: 842 Loc: Satsop	I well remember nailing boatloads of kings in 15 feet of water off the beach, but since that wonderful $38 milliion jetty was built to protect the highway at Washaway Beach the kings have taken another route into the bay and are pretty sour by the time they start stacking up downstream of North River in the main channel. Oh, you can still get them but not like the old days $\:\($ B10 for me now, much more predictable _________________________ The fishing was GREAT! The catching could have used some improvement however........
