Got hooked fishing with my Grandpa Cooper on Lake Nahwatzel. We moved to Shelton and I fished Goldsburough Cr. and Mill Cr. mostly. Rode the bike to Island Lk. or Isabella Lk. when allowed. Fished the Satsop R., 'Nooch, Hump', and Skok' mainly after starting to drive. Had access to a cabin on the Hoh just below the Park and loved to fish that area. The last dozen or so years I've fished more in the salt, P.A. , the Sound, and out of Westport. Springers on the Columbia R. are great fun, but for me there is something primal that is stirred up by going "Coastal."
