Most stores will let you smell their fish. Some markets as well. Ta dum ta dum.

Just kidding you talking about netting. Not sure it's still legal here. ?

Netting on the Wa side. Just looking to beg borrow or steal enough to bring back some memories of my times on Lake Superior oh so many years ago. 1960's

You got it! Rye bread with butter and coleslaw. We saw the run as a precursor to spring.

I've got a big a$$ salmon net you could use. Holes might be too big and I'm on the other side of the river. But your welcome to use it.

Cowlitz is usually first.
And then a maybe for the Lewis and Sandy,

Holes are way too big. But you are a scholar and a gentleman for putting up the offer.

Here is a grainy vid of how we did the deed. Sometimes the net was so full we could not get it to the beach...

Sea lions have been spotted staging in the lower Cowlitz.
Apparently the the lead elements have arrived.

We always used some old kitchen scissors and in one snip the whole belly and innards came off.
Real quick work.
We kept the males for the smoker and saved the females for Sturgeon fishing.
