We cannot fish but in 5 days we will be able to do so and from what I have seen folks are ready to fish, that's the good news. Now the question is what should we expect? Starting tomorrow at Haywire Ridge ( near upper W. Fork Satsop ) it is over two inches with over 7 inches total over 5 days. The Satsop flow graph looks like an M with double peaks and the final peak the Oct. 3rd then drops like a rock. So one should expect less than favorable conditions on the Satsop but it will be changing rapidly every day.

The upper Chehalis is around 2 inches for the same 5 day time frame so flows will go up but nothing like the Olympics side, in fact will just get to average flows.

So all should pay attention to Olympics side of the Chehalis watershed because it has to get mud out of this thing. The Chehalis side takes time to reach tide water and it should arrive about the time the others clear and should not be nearly as muddy. Do the 240 precip to see the storms daily anticipated rainfall and flows.
