No argument but the Chinook on the Chehalis but they pale as to problems compared to Humptulips Wild Coho ( or what is left ) I agree to T3's thought that if WDFW staff screw the pooch the fish and users pay the piper. Staff just trots on down the road drawing a check as most do not fish. Your tax dollars at work.

Since QIN and non-treaty commercials won't or can't fish selectively, the easiest way to conserve wild Hump coho is to close the Humptulips hatchery. I'm not anti-hatchery, but it seems more and more that the zeal to harvest surplus hatchery chinook and coho is the direct cause of under-escaped salmon runs. If fisheries are dependent on natural production, at least there is an incentive to manage for wild fish abundance. Not to mention, the Hump is great coho habitat, probably better than the Chehalis on a hectare by hectare basis.

Is the log still blocking Saatsop boating?

Why????? At 2900 cfs and March 31 close......clean your gear...wait for better days.

Would be a fast driftboat ride.........

It cleared out a while ago. Tomorrow is last day river is open and Drifterwa is right. She is high, dirty and fast.

Think I might float the Satsop late in the week anyway. I had reconstructive surgery on my elbow in August and have not pulled on the sticks since last April - the longest non-rowing streak in almost 50 years. I'll probably catch a few corkies, and maybe a plug or two.
