Heard the chums were in good over a week ago, anyone been fishing the Naselle lately or chasing those bad dogs around the other Willapa bay tribs? Thanks!!!

Howdy... Haven't been out there since mid-October. Lots of silvers and chinook back then. I am sure this rain pushed lots of chum up there though. I would definitely give it a shot. I bet the Nemah has a few as well...

good luck and let us know how it went.

Was there 2 weeks ago and the chums were in thick, but were already setting up redds so I didn't fish them, but it's been my expierence that if it rains some late running coho will still be moving thru, 2 years ago we got some coho the weekend before Thanksgiving on a rainyday. :grin: :grin:

Thanks, FAZ, M-Gilchrist, GttLC, and B-Flicker for that good advice.

Too bad, I was looking forward to a new area. I had heard the chums continued on into December, guess that was wrong?

Is there a tackle shop or something in the vicinity of Naselle to call for last minute reports?

Mike, I would take you up on that email offer; thanks!
