Yeah I was thinking that maybe we should set up some tutoring for NSA and FBI analysts. They've been known to have trouble with those remedial skills......

Of course they can read. I love how everyone rags on the skok then abuses the place. Human waste all over then complain at natives. On a brighter note, nice work bait, looks like you are making the most of it and having done fun. Good work.

The Tribe is allowed to net from either 101 or 106 to the mouth from 7am monday until 7am/pm (not positive which) this Friday and after that every Saturday from 7am to 7pm. They have multiple days after this week that they can fish w/o nets. You can look up the regs on the Skok site.

thanks for the info.

So, I am reading this correctly? That is, the netting at the mouth (and elsewhere downstream of the 106 bridge) is ending this Thursday (or is it Saturday)? If so, then I hope that means more fish will start making it upriver to the sportsmen...

Didn't see that sturgeon hooked in the Cedar Hole, but there was another large one sitting below the Y fork early in the morning.

That's how it's done on the skok, surprised he didn't whack it. Drove by here on the way home from work. Looked like it was big on leader length and short on about everything else. Saw a pair of guys walking back to their truck trailing like ten feet of toilet paper and two hundred yards of line and rigging. That was awesome.

Hi Nate, I know you are a professional so I ask - where is the best place for fall Chinook and Steelhead? I've heard Cowlitz and Drano and don't know which is better. I have been to Drano and it is so cramped. However, it seems most in Drano are fin clipped and there for the hatchery. I've never been to the Cowlitz. Thanks,

You should pm this question. This thread is for the skok.
