The Kilchis River Fish-Along

Update: I just got a call from Lane from the river (11/9/07).  He said the river is still low even though there's been rain.  He said there are a few fish around but it's hard to say how the fishing is going to be tomorrow.  He also said that he and Justy would be fishing tomorrow and still plan to meet at the logging bridge at 8:00 AM.

When: Saturday 10 Nov. 8: AM
Where: Kilchis River
