WDFW Repot - 7:14 a.m. 10/2/2008

Salmon fishing in the mainstem Columbia River has also been holding up well between the lower end of Bachelor Island near the mouth of the Lewis River upriver to Bonneville Dam. In that area, boat anglers have been averaging one adult chinook for every six rods. Anglers there may retain up to two adult chinook salmon as part of their daily limit. Anglers fishing the mouths of the Cowlitz and Toutle rivers have been picking up good numbers of hatchery coho, and those fishing the Cowlitz near the trout hatchery have been catching some nice sea-run cutthroat as well. Bank anglers fishing the North Fork Toutle have been averaging an adult hatchery coho for every two rods. The Lewis River has also been productive for hatchery coho, as has the Kalama River. Anglers must release all chinook salmon caught on the Lewis River and all adult chinook on the Kalama. The same is true for unmarked coho, which must be released in all fisheries downriver from the Hood River bridge. Noel Johnson - Woodland, WA Noel@lewisriver.com http://www.lewisriver.com/

Beautiful 15lb Buck - 2:39 p.m. 10/1/2008

Saw a spectacular late summer steelhead buck landed yesterday. Pinkish red stripe down the sides and the cheeks were rose pink! One of the prettiest fish I've seen in quite a while. Fought like a real bull. Eddie

Clams- - 3:38 p.m. 9/29/2008

Razor clam season scheduled to open Oct. 16 at most ocean beaches OLYMPIA - The first razor-clam dig of the fall season will get under way Oct. 16 if marine toxin tests show the clams are safe to eat, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) announced today. Additional digging opportunities are planned through mid-December. Three evening digs are tentatively scheduled at Twin Harbors, Copalis and Mocrocks Oct. 16-18, while Long Beach is scheduled for two evening digs Oct. 17 and 18. Digging will be restricted to the hours between noon and midnight. Because the low tides for digging occur later in the evening, people should take lights or lanterns with them, said Dan Ayres, coastal shellfish manager for WDFW. He also recommended checking weather and surf forecasts before heading out. Harvesters are allowed to take no more than 15 razor clams and must keep the first 15 they dig, regardless of size or condition. Each digger’s clams must be kept in a separate container. A license is required for anyone age 15 or older. Any 2008 annual shellfish/seaweed license or combination fishing license is still valid. Another option is a razor-clam only license available in annual or three-day only versions. Descriptions of the various licensing options are available on the WDFW website at fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov. Clam diggers are not required to display their licenses on outer clothing. Ayres said that more harvest dates would be announced following the December opener. Tentative opening dates and evening low tides in October are: Thursday, Oct. 16 (8:30 p.m. -1.5) Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks Friday, Oct. 17 (9:17 p.m. -1.5) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks Saturday, Oct. 18 (10:08 p.m. -1.2) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks In addition, WDFW has tentatively scheduled two other digs through December: Thursday, Nov. 13 (6:27 p.m. -1.6) Copalis, Mocrocks Friday, Nov. 14 (7:15 p.m. -1.8) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks Saturday, Nov. 15 (8:04 p.m. -1.6) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks Sunday, Nov. 16 (8:54 p.m. -1.2) Long Beach, Twin Harbors Copalis, Mocrocks Thursday, Dec. 11 (5:23 p.m. -1.1) Copalis, Mocrocks Friday, Dec. 12 (6:13 p.m. -1.5) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks Saturday, Dec. 13 (7:02 p.m. -1.6) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks Sunday, Dec. 14 (7:50 p.m. -1.4) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks Beaches scheduled to open are: Long Beach, which extends from the Columbia River to Leadbetter Point.
