Think about fishing the GH rivers about the first week of November or later. The bad thing is that while the rivers are receding a bit, areas that are not traditionally flooded are holding huge amounts of water. These areas are served by small drainage ditches, so the runoff will continue for weeks, not days. All are way out. The Satsop HWY 12 parking lot was under water this morning. Tonight is was full of mud and silt.

Here is a look at the current levels.
