I do worry about those rivers(to tell you the truth I am worried about every Washington river) because I fish them more than any others for steelhead (from the bank or drift boat). I live only about 45 minutes from good fishing water on the satsop and 1 hr 20 minutes from my favorite stretch on the Nootch. There are no great rivers on the Canal anymore. There is the Skoke but it is far from great unless you are talking about salmon then there is some really good combat fishing which I really don't care to participate in. Thank god I know some other prime areas and can avoid the crowds.
