I was at the bridge past eagle fern this morning for a little while , only saw about 5 big fish hanging out .

Eagle Creek is entirely too low for any mass of Salmonids to move up into the creek at the moment...As mentioned before, the rains will change the fishery completely...Stay tuned. There are some fish between Carver, and Barton, if you can find one willing to strike.

just heard that they already bumped the limit up to three on the creek, the clack, and sandy. its on the odfw page too, fish on!!!

kentsboots · 09-18-2008, 09:30 AM

SO what does that mean exactly ? The limit is up to 3 from 2 , I assume it means if all you catch is Coho , then you can have 3 adults ....

but if you already have 2 adult nooks , your done? , or can you keep one more coho ?

I AM LUCKY(KINDA) that i dont hav to worry about that. i only fish on eagle creek for salmon in the fall, and they only got coho. but i think if u catch 2 nooks, then ur done. but if u catch a silver, then 2 nooks, or 2 silvers then a nook, then ur fine. if you have to worry about that then u are one lucky S.O.B. so where u fishin for nooks, the sandy?

The nook on the Sandy are booty like you wouldn't believe! Guess what? They are thinkin of re-opening Chinook retention on the Columbia from the mouth of the Lewis River, up to the Bonneville Pool. Eagle fern should start a winter Chinook run as well as the Coho run. It would be nice to get 2 'Hos and a fat Chinook to go along with it...Although I am a firm believer that Coho is the best tasting Salmon in the Rivers, hands down...Chinook is overrated, and I'm just not a fan of the consistency of Socks. But keep your eyes peeled for a re-juice in the Chinook fishery near Bonneville.

I just assumed there were both types of fish in the rivers , so this fall run is mainly Coho then ?

Pretty much, the Clack will be Coho, and hopefully a good run of Steelhead this year too.
