Hi all, been looking at this site for a few months and finally had some time to sign up. I live in Satsop and at least get to look at the local rivers a lot - fishing time is harder to come by but I get some in now and then on the weekends and vacations. I usually fish the salmon runs pretty hard, South Sound for blackmouth, Cathlamet for springers, Buoy 10 for tons of silvers, and Grays Harbor for pig kings. Also fish steelhead with both bait and fly, keep a few, mostly release. I also fish kokes and lakers in the summer, and even scrounge up the odd sturgeon occasionally, actually got one today right near home after spending the rest of the weekend trying to find steelhead in the mud. I really like the tech tips on this board - always up to try something different, and I do have a few tricks up my sleeve myself that I have figured out after a half-century or so of fishing. Also like to hear what is going on elsewhere in the state river condition and fish-wise. Hope I can contribute myself.
