Chehalis River Advisory Gives Way to a Full Fishing Closure

The September advisory about possible tribal citations on the Chehalis River near Oakville has been overtaken by a full closure: the Chehalis, with the rest of the Grays Harbor and Willapa Bay river systems, has been closed to salmon and all game fish since October 24 because of near-record low flows, Washington Fish and Wildlife says. The department may reopen rivers if flows rise.
