Well, I hate to burst everyone's bubble here. Been fishing the Satsop/Chehalis all week for my fishing vacation. The Satsop is VERY low and was a pain in the butt to float in my cataraft. We need more then a rain, we need a downpour for a day or so. The Satsop has good color, but needs to be a good foot higher. The fish are hitting if you know where to go (right Os ). But for most part most fish are being snagged that I've seen caught. You hit them with plugs or spinners long enough they'll hit (that'ss if they don't spook out of the hole first which Ii saw alot of).

It'll be a driftboats nightmare if we don't get ALOT of rain. Saw a guy with a brand new Lavro (which is only driftboat I saw on Satsop all week) scrape up his hull in at least 10 spots from Schaefer to Cooks.

Well, keep checking the waterlevels. There are fish in the river but they're very spooky. You'll have to work to get the fish but it can be done (I know first hand )

I guess it comes down to the last minute again.
