The Chehalis River is pretty close to the Washington/Oregon border, drove over it a couple months ago just before reaching the Columbia River mouth.

people dont want to give out such info on this forum. this post has only 10 post yet 320 views.

I think the problem is that some aren't using the Reports Section of this website for what its intended for.  I meet alot of people on the river and one of the questions I ask is whether they participate on a fishing forum.  Many say they don't post but they only lurk for info on where to go etc..   Rod has set up the reports section so that only people with a minimum number of posts are allowed to particpate.  Not to say that there are any secrets to any of the rivers that are mentioned but when a question like the one the OP posted is asked, how do you think people are going to respond?

[Stratocaster]

That's OK.

I was a bit miffed that you took it out on Strat as he sure is one of the most knowledgeable individuals on this forum, who is always willing to chip in his 2 cents worth.  Forgive him (or me or anyone else) for being a bit cranky on any given day. We are human beings after all, and this is a DISCUSSION forum, not a Q&A's website. Hey, even i have been at the receiving end of the guitar man when he didn't like what I said. It is OK to let our emotions seep into the discussion, as it adds to the dynamics of the thread, and as long as it doesn't cross the line of what is acceptable (which I don't think happened in this particular case), it's all good.

There is an unpleasant side to the real world out there beyond the boundaries of the Internet, and there is no harm in fishyfish or anyone else experiencing a bit of it every now and then.  A cranky old Stratocaster who'd rather be fishing than working is sure not the most pleasant thing to show up on your screen, but hey, it could be much worse - it could be Chris telling us how successful the flossers have been (again!) as opposed to the guys ethically short-floating bait.

Who are you calling old?

[NiceFish]

Let's put this way, north side Fraser has fish but the numbers do not compare to the vedder. People should be thankful that stratocaster and Milo are as helpful and insightful as they are.

Who are you calling old?

Anyone who got to watch Tom Cochrane, Prism and Aaron Neville at the PNE for free is old. 

As is anyone who got to see The Queen and Dire Straits live in the late 70s and early 80's.

Can anyone give gps Marks for those spots on the chehalis?

[Stratocaster]

Can anyone give gps Marks for those spots on the chehalis?

49 degrees 6.005' North
122 degrees 4.412 West

Enjoy!

Well, I'm definitely with Stratocaster and Milo on this one!  One problem I see is that without being a subscriber, we have no access to private messages.  Therefore, Stratocaster's only recourse is to reply to the post.  If the private messaging were available to both the sender and receiver, then maybe we could avoid the sparks on this discussion thread.  Now I don't know whether the OP is a novice fisher or not, but to ask questions such as the one posted???  Come on!  Let's throw in Norrish/Suicide Creek into the mix as well!  All of these systems have limited access and to post information on a general forum where all the lurkers and their dogs can view it is foolish.  Believe me - such posting will come back to bite you in the "you know where"!!!  I've seen it first hand.

So there fish in the Chehalis ?

[Drewhill]

Can anyone give gps Marks for those spots on the chehalis?

Here are driving directions: Go down highway 1, take the 3 rd exit, make a few rights and lefts and when you hit KWB that's where the fish are

sure:

49 degrees 6.005' North
122 degrees 4.412 West

Enjoy

ROTFLMAO!!!
Nice to see a bridge built across the canyon.

[Athezone]

Luv you Milo, great post. 

[Johnny Canuck]

The amount of angling pressure that has increased the last 5 years on the Chehalis is insane I think. I used to be able to go fish there all day in the canyon and never see another angler. These days that's almost impossible.

[shi man oh man]

the vedder is the only river anyone should bother fishing.  it has lots of room.    lots of fish   

[dcajaxs]

another river to fish is the chilliwack. It is very close to the vedder and contains fish
