Chehalis fishing was awesome, Lots of fish.

[chris gadsden]

I must be fishing the wrong place, none in last 2 trips.

Interesting...a good and reliable friend of mine pounded the area yesterday with no success.
Joey must have a fish magnet attached to his terminal tackle. Care to share your secret, Joey?

[Old Blue]

Loads of chum but the fresher coho seemed lacking in numbers although my fishing partner did get a nice 7lb hatchery with sea lice.

[Headshake]

Nothing for us either. 6-7 guys and one coho. Everyone using bait, spinners so it was nice to see a good natured and very experienced crowd but not many silvery customers. All of us had to drool over the one nice hatch.

[Joey]

The fish wasn't biting until past noon,roe works good but need to work hard also.The water was muddy a bit and the wind was
 buzzing all over.They are a lot  of colored fish too

i was there camping 3 out of 4 weekends in the last month and fishing was only good at first light and just after unless their had been a good down poor. after that it slowed everyday i was there. didn't matter to me, just love being out in that area. met some very cool people during those weekends i hope to bump into again. this system is very dependant on rain which we didn't get alot of this October so it made things challenging.

Please make room for people to cast and be polite,not just jam in.Thank you

...Have noticed two definate bite periods during the day.Have not run into good spinner conditions,(yesterday would have rocked) guts doing the job.Make sure you have some good jam in the water when it turns on.The cold /clear water had  them hugging bottom the last couple of wknds....arms length 8# leader# 1 hook/ knot of peach wool+jam/20 g green drennan

Went yesterday for the last 45 minutes of the day, one wild landed and one fish lost.

Hi Milo......there you go.....that is the one

That explains it. My friend was there from first light until maybe 11, and he didn't touch a coho. Wait until I tell him that he should have stayed until past noon.

Interesting. Why they bite past noon? Chehalis fish is notorious about bite time. Best is first light until the sun comes up. Once sunlight hits the water, roe fishing is done. That is my experience unless the water rises and colours up during the day. My best fishing day there was years and years ago and we caught the water rising and turning tea colour. There was a rock behind a nice rifle which every fish came up and sat in for a while. It was a turkey shoot for hours. Almost every cast with roe was a fish on, no kidding.

Not only that....longer leader,roe dragging bottom.
Is not normal coho not biting in the morning, maybe too cold

[Novabonker]

I'm reminded of a few times around this same timeline, tossing a chrome beauty up on shore behind me and turning around a bit later and seeing and old black boot. Anyone notice any cutthroat mixed in?
