If you fished the Satsop in the 70's and 80's, what it is now almost makes you feel like a close friend died. It doesn't fish anything like it used to and it doesn't look anything like it used to.

It really went in the crapper after Fishing and Hinting Lies did a big article on it complete with maps and color pictures and some goat telling everyone about all the 20lb wild steelhead. From that point on the cat got out of the bag.

I still fish it, but more often than not I come home disappointed.
