Finally, my first 2 hatchery coho for this year
« on: November 12, 2005, 06:19:30 PM »
Woke up at around 4:30am and headed out to the Chehalis with brother-in-law. Got there and was surprised to only see 3 cars. Something is not right here!!! After all that positive reports and no crowd?? Found out an hour into fishing why---- only catching dogs after dogs after dogs...........

Where to next as it was only 8:10am?

Decided to head to this smaller system in between Chehalis and InchCreek.

Walked the dyke and found a run with some decent water.

After a few cast with roe, I felt a slight tap on my line. Was that a fish??? I told my partner that I think that it was a fish. The next cast...bang! Fish On. A bright hatchery coho of about 7lbs.

The next 2 hours we were hooking cohos every 5-10minutes apart. It was nice as every hookup was a chromer. We did not touch any dogs. No crowds to boot!!!!!

We both ended up with our limit of cohos.

pretty much gave it away with his title and the mention of the dyke and limiting out  ::).

i was there too with fishfreak and fishinAddict. weren't you guys just below the 'hole' in the wall, at the end of the dyke?

congrats on your cohos.  ;D

If the person wanted their spot revealed they would of mentioned it in their report, questioning them on here will not be tolerated, please do it privately and respectful.

ok, I went fishing for a day and I came home to see five complaints in my email, you really don't want me to go catch all the fish do you? ;)

Here's the thing with the report section.

It's not mandatory to state the location/river system where you are fishing in when you post a report, this report section can also be known as the story/bragging section.

However, if you choose not to reveal your location, be prepared to have people who will ask you where you were fishing, both privately and publicly.

I have no control on what people ask, and I don't really care if you ask or not. To those who choose to ask, my suggestion would be not to bother as if the poster wanted you to know, he or she would have posted it in the first place. My feeling towards this is mutual. Typically when I read the reports, I enjoy looking at others' photos and reading the stories. I don't think I've ever asked the locations, but I've already accumulated a list of locations where I would fish throughout the season over the years. I can understand why some would want to know, if they are just getting into fishing.

marmot, you're right that in some aspect FWR discussion forum is a public one. I keep it opened to the public so all can use it as a tool to communicate, share information, learn and make friends. The forum is privately owned, by me ;) , so it does have some restrictions to it. These restrictions are not a concern if the members know how to play nice. Generally the no-no's of this forum include disrespecting other members, foul language, posting of offensive information (inappropriate for minors, etc). There isn't an exact set of rules that moderators use to control the forum, so we do miss the odd items every now and then. If anyone has a concern on a particular post, they can always report it to us and we do our best to take care of it ASAP. I try to control it as little as possible and over the years it has been fairly easy to do thanks to all the members.

Play nice, there's still plenty of fish for people to catch. The season is not over yet. Now, don't bother me when I go fishing next time. ;)

Oh yes, Thomas, congrat. on the hatchery coho. 1 month and 22 days after I landed my first one. ;D

You also forgot to mention where you fished  :P ;D

I also never ask where someone fishes. As I have told everyone its simple to find locations. Now that salmon season is winding down its a great time to scout locations. Just grab a map, a Tim's coffee ( or maybe a Starbucks Egg Nog Latte Yummy ) and head out looking for locations on different systems. It can be very fun and rewarding as next year you will have a ton of locations to try out and you can pat yourself on the back for finding them when you catch a fish.
