I hit up the lower river around Tukwilla after work. Tide was coming in, seen a few rollers. I tried drifting bait but there just wasn't enough current. Switched over to freedrifting/plunking which seemed to be the ticket. Hooked a few jacks, and kept three with the biggest being 19.5". The bite died for a little while until the fish were rolling on top of me. Landed two adult Coho back to back. A few cast later I hooked into what I thought was a giant Coho. Fought it for a few minutes as it ran up river then back down. Finally as I got it to shore I noticed it wasn't a Coho but a bright Chinook. Bonked it and called it an evening.

There are two Green Rivers in Washington State. The one that closed is in South West Washington and is a tributary of the North Fork Toutle River.

Nice catch. I've found them to be finicky as all hell this season. There is a stretch of the Duwamish(Green) with a 1 chinook keeper rule.

Yeah, I noticed the same thing. The pinks were very finicky, I couldn't catch one to save my life. I gave up targeting them after two unsuccessful trips in August.

Ive been looking forward to reading this year's "2 star" losaturn green river reports! Welcome back! I didnt know there was any allowed retention of green river chinook. I'll have to brush up on my regs.....

Chinook retention has been opened since Sept. 1 between 99 bridge and I 405. 1 chinook limit. I honestly thought the kings were all upriver by now, 4,0000+ fish already made it back to Soos Creek.
