Go get you some Dana, they eat good.
I haven’t heard back from the WDFW fish checker that we saw down there a couple weeks ago, we’re supposed to get a call back but it has not materialized as of yet. That was one of the things that we had talked about, raising the limits on the Triploids to get hem out of there.
If anyone could reduce that population, it would be you. You are one Fish slaying dude.

I’m pretty much stoked to be able to finally get up there, I’ve been waiting a few years for sizable numbers to happen… I’ll have a few open seats available, wish me luck!!!

The way we fish is about the same way a lot of people hunt when they get older, the old bull versus the young bull. We do not battle the crowd that just has to launch at first flight and be the first on the river anymore, we mosey on down after everybody has left and splash the boat in without any wait time.
So at 8 o’clock we’re motoring up the Chehalis river for some coho fishing, we stop at the first hole (that had been ignored by the Wolfpack) and start sore mouthing the silvers.
The fishing was great, the catching was even better but all of the eight adult silvers that we brought to the boat, everyone was an unclipped hatchery fish. I say this because the dorsal fins were all deformed like fish that are raised in the hatcheries and the adipose fins were small compared to the thumb sized on true Wild fish.
All was not lost because we were able to catch three fat Jack’s. It’s just disheartening to me that there is something going on with this fishery that is being withheld from stakeholders (fishers who pay for the opportunity to catch fish).

Can you elaborate on your last paragraph? What's being withheld?

Sure thing, why so many supposedly “Wild fish” and very few “clipped fish”? Reread the highlighted paragraph above.
