Author: BIGWATERSubject: chehalis basin strategy (strategy = dam the river)Posted: 07 Oct 2016 at 1:26pmI used to paddle the Chehailis a lot 15 or 20 years ago. It's close to Oly and I had some great adventures in there when I first started boating. Saw my first rain on snow flood event up close and personal on the upper chehalis. I also saw my first red neck couch burning party back in those r...

Author: jonlcrainSubject: chehalis basin strategy (strategy = dam the river)Posted: 07 Oct 2016 at 12:47pmThanks for the story! I figured there would be little chance of photo, etc but thought it might come in handy to show prior use of the drainage for recreation.

Unfortunately, early in the run at the first or second ledge drop, there was a FU branch or small tree coming off the bank, angled across the lip at chest level, right where you wanted to be. We tried having so...

Author: jonlcrainSubject: chehalis basin strategy (strategy = dam the river)Posted: 07 Oct 2016 at 12:05pmThe fall stoke had me thinking about the Chehalis zone and it's tributaries. I knew it was all locked up behind a gate so I started looking into the permit process and eventually sent an email to Tom at AW asking about it. He clued me into this. I know he is reviewing the document now and A...

Author: jalmquistSubject: chehalis basin strategyPosted: 07 Oct 2016 at 8:36amWow. Thanks Jon for bringing attention to this. Recent access to the Chehalis sucks (thanks Weyerhaeuser), but there's some great paddling on that river. The gorge above Pe Ell is a little gem, and the runs upstream are unique and have some good play.
