Fished the Satsop today. I almost didn't go because of the fear of crowds after the Seattle paper and threads here had stated that it was full of fish. However, there was less than a dozen people fishing the meat hole just above the S-curves.

I guess everyone else thought it would be too crowded so they stayed away. There was even a "gut-truck" at the parking area selling hamburgers, hotdogs, and espresso. First time I'd ever seen something like that. Kinda tells ya how unzipper the Satsop is.

Caught and released a half dozen chum in a few hours and called it quits. Didn't see any silvers caught or rolling. Kid next to me must have hooked two dozen fish and the closest he ever got to the mouth was the ventral fin. Did actually see one fish caught that would have been worth taking home. Only had a slight bit of color for a dog up the river.
