The East Fork has been closed to retention of all salmon, in any season, for years.

So let me get this straight and please correct me if I'm wrong. NO spring chinook may be retained from ANY part of the east fork under any conditions NO MATTER WHAT?

Spring salmon regs - 7:15 a.m. 2/6/2010
Spring salmon regs

On the Columbia River, from the Rocky Point-Tongue Point line to the I-5 bridge at Vancouver, anglers are allowed a daily limit of six salmon (minimum size 12 inches), two of which may be adult hatchery chinook or hatchery steelhead or one of each, according to regulations found in the 2010 Fishing in Washington pamphlet, on page 74. All salmon, other than hatchery chinook, must be released. This season runs through March 31.

On the Cowlitz River, from markers at the mouth of the river to Mayfield Dam, anglers are allowed a daily limit of six salmon, two of which may be adult hatchery chinook or coho, through July 31. Minimum size is 12 inches. Only hatchery chinook and coho may be retained, which means that any jacks must be fin-clipped as well.

On the Kalama River, through July 31, anglers are allowed a daily limit of six hatchery chinook only. Only one adult may be retained daily, and the minimum size is 12 inches.

On the Lewis River system, from the mouth of the river to the mouth of the East Fork, anglers are allowed a daily limit of six hatchery chinook, only one of which may be an adult. Again, minimum size is 12 inches.

On the North Fork, from the mouth of the East Fork upstream to Merwin Dam, anglers are allowed a daily limit of six hatchery chinook, only one of which may be an adult salmon. Minimum size is 12 inches.

Only fin-clipped jacks may be retained in the waters listed, and in all but the Cowlitz, which allows silver salmon retention, jacks must be chinook. Be sure to check your copy of the fishing pamphlet before you go fishing, and stay tuned for any changes in regulations.

East Fork Drifting - 6:21 p.m. 2/4/2010
If your new at using a drift boat, I would try the North Fork or Cowlitz first. In small rivers, like the East Fork things can happen fast and if you do not plan ahead to set up your drift through a tight area it can get ugly. Trust me a guide makes drifting look easy in rough water. I had a friend of mine who wanted to row my boat. He had never handled a drift boat before. We had a small set of rapids to go through about 10 minutes down river. To me it was a no brainer on what to do. I had him take to oars while I explained the concept of steering the boat by rowing backwards in some slack water. Then let him get the feel for it. However, he did not get the concept of rowing backwards when we hit the rough water. We ended up scraping bottom, and in tree limbs. I had to help to prevent the boat from going sideways. Sideways hitting bottom can be disasterous in a driftboat (flip). Having said all that, you should get to feel for it in a couple of trips. You first tight spot you will understand the concept of planning ahead and setting up the boat to go where you want it to go. You'll probably row way more than necessary but that is part of the learning curve.

Good luck!

Regards
