Thomas,

Where to fish on the Satsop is almost easier to figure out than when to fish it. The silver fishing area is pretty short, from the mouth to Shafer St. Park on the East Fork. The best time to fish the mouth is about 2 or 3 hours after high tide. Silvers will move from the mouth to the park in as little as 17 hours (according to a guy who keeps statistics on this stuff) on a dropping river after a freshet, taking longer under less favorable conditions. Also, the river seems to be out of fishable shape at flows much over 4kcfs. It was still out on the mainstem yesterday; the east fork clears fastest.

Where to fish is easy. Just drive around on the weekend and look for parked cars. Follow the boot prints.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
