The Chehalis is open, and we could actually fish that from a small boat like my 12 footer. We could even head up to the mouth of the Satsop. It is a lot like a lake in many sections with some slow moving water. I may be able to find us a drift boat to use as well, but I'll know more in a few days.

My friend who fished it a lot said that even my 18 foot boat would be okay up to a certain point, but I am kind of fond of that 17 pitch prop of mine.
