I found out something interesting today while reading some posts at Ifish. It seems that the Siuslaw is a completely wild Coho fishery. It was my understanding that there were fin clipped hatchery fish in the river. There are wild Chinook that can be caught legally, but very few and far between. Knowing this new information, I am not going to fish the Siuslaw anymore. Even though I have had a lot of fun, I can't see feeding anymore wild fish to the seals. I think it's time to try Siltcoos lake. At least there, if I catch a fish, I can keep it and have a nice meal, or should I decide to release it, it won't end up being killed by a furbag!

Fishing is much more than fish.  It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.  ~Herbert Hoover
