10 Horse Kicker, yes, a Flotilla is a fishing get together. There have been 2 previous Flotillas, one in Washington and one in Oregon.

Flotilla III was planned for the Satsop River earlier this year. The first date set up, the river was too low and the second date it was blown out, although Team Vision fished it the second date and did well. It also seemed in the opinions of some of the people knowledgable about this river, it was too small for the 25 or so boats that were going to participate in Flotilla III along with the regular river traffic.

The Lewis is large enough for the boats that show up , it handles rain well and has fish. Sure, sleds may have an advantage, but any river that can handle everyone, is going to be large and sleds will have the advantage. The last two Flotillas were drift boat only rivers so the Lewis will allow others that only have sleds to participate. We may have to make Keith and James use a drift boat, so there are some fish left for others to catch.

How about Saturday December 8th on the Lewis River? Keith, what do you think?
