DW & I took a drive around middle tidewater and the Satsop. So what I know, good fishers are catching fish but its not everyone across the board. Lots of fishers on the Satsop and witnessed one guy packing a Coho but dark gray is NOT a good Coho color. Boat launches have room but are being well used.

So fresh fish coming in but not a huge movement upstream fish slowly working their way but bright is not a word I would use for condition for many of them. In other words early rain fish did the scoot but lacking water in the spawning grounds are hanging out in the river high low middle reaches. So Flea has got it correct I think but remember the river can eat 10,000 fish to look like 100 and make 500 look like 5,000. My 5 bucks is on the early rain scoot was rather large so inland great but tidewater rec and QIN commercial oh not so good to maybe terrible!
