Has any one been out to the Chilliwack or Chehalis rivers? How has the fishing been like on these rivers?

IMO I would say they both are pretty well finished . If you want to brave this cold snap go for it  . I would say to let nature take it's course and leave the coho to spawn seeing that 99.9 % of them are all colored up .

Thanks for the heads up, I think you are right, perhaps wait for the steel head to come in. This weather is too cold to be out there. Thanks again!

got into some chromers on Saturday and retained a nice hatch doe, feels like steelhead season out there the only difference is your float actually goes down

A guy beside me last thursday caught a nice chromer at the Chahailis . He bonked it and 10 minutes later it went a little dark .  Then he had the nerve to ask me if I wanted it . No Thanks , I said .

a couple guys at the chehalis a week or so ago have this black ho on the beach and when they go to leave and grab the fish they comment so that I can hear "sure was a lot more chrome when I bonked it"

was at Chehalis friday morning and took home a nice one, didnt color up at all and either did FFM's two he kept. I have gotten chromers in that river in January before you just have to find them sitting along the sides of the darker ones. I even hit a steely in there one year on Nov 15th which broke me off about 4feet in the air

Its not uncommon for a relatively clean late season coho to turn almost black after it gets bonked.

i do believe the common term for those so called chromers in the chehalis is imposters! one minute they are chrome, next minute, oops, what did i bonk?  i remember years ago hiking looking for fish in the canyon in the snow and cold of late january, the 25th i believe, and looking down into a certain run i see a group of about 20 or so grey ghosts lying in a run. i began salivating at once! these could not be steelys but perhaps a very late blip of cohoes? ah but the goat trail down to this run had snow and wet leaves all over it. darn, i couldn't get down there! death wish seemed to easy to come by if i attempted getting there.went home and recounted this tale to always fishing, and guess what, he found them the next day with no danger getting to the spot,,,,,,,,and of course he informs me the next day of his success, a big chrome female cohoe, and i know he has the pic to prove it. i just can't remember the size but it was a beeeuuuty!!!!
