Has anyone ever tried Pink worms on the skook, I just found some of those mad river worm that are black with a pink tail that would look awesome in the skook but I have heard those fish don't seem to like the worm that much any info?

Looks like the chehalis went up just over 3 feet in a day. Hopefully it gave more fish a chance to get around the nets. Been 2 weeks since i fished. Sheesh im really starting to go through withdrawals.

NICE. I'm glad that river is putting out some fish for you! It's about time that it heated up.

From the pics, it looks like the main parking area just below the hatchery.

I saw one caught at night glow ballin by the guy right next to me. In the morning I saw 4 fish hooked and landed at the hatchery. With float and jig. It was a early morning bite, as soon as the sun hit the water. Then it just died all of a sudden. At the fields we saw 5 taken out. One also being ours. What time did you get there King Daddy ?
