Drove down and tried the Satsop today for the first time. I launched the boat @ the highway launch and fished up river. There is a sweeper 100% across the river 100 yards downstream from the launch (not sure if this is new).

River was running a bit high when I arrived at 0700 and the visibility was about 18 inches. As the day went on it was dropping fast and by 3:00 PM there was almost 3' of vis.

I landed and released 6 Chum 3 Coho and 3 Kings. The Chum were a bit dark, but the Coho and Chinook were nice and bright. All 12 fish came on wrapped K15 kwikfish in various colors and there are two chums and one King with my K15's still attached

It was an awesome day, considering it was my first trip to the Satsop, and I fished alone all day.

Cheers,
SA

PS. The launch REALLY sucks, especially at the higher flows.
