Wooohooo. You guys picked a great time for this floatilla. I'm on vacation those two weeks. The week after the floatilla is my exclusive fishing week down in the Grays Harbor area. I have my sled, but it may be sold by then (i'm going to be putting it up for sale here pretty quick). So I'll be using my cat. (Hey Os, gotta get together to build that frame).

Well, I'm partial to the bruts on the Sop myself. I've never liked the Cow. The Lewis wouldn't be bad either. I agree about the steelhead issue. You're talking about this river being chock full of salmon. You'll be able to hit as you go. Just depends on the float you want to do. I doubt I'd do the long float we did on the Sop on floatilla I. I'd float from maybe the S turns to the mouth (as much as I dread floating through sled alley).

My vote is Satsop, then Lewis, then Cowlitz.
