Yeah, I was not impressed. Would have omitted them but for the information on the fish. I also assumed they hadn't found much fishable water upstream (or at least nowhere else to put on the Jimmy Houston hookset clinic they were hosting).

For what its worth I opted not to float Oct. 1 w/ low water, but did walk upstream from road access and do some bankie fishing. 4 drift boats came by me from Decker. They all said it was real skinny, and lots of walking, but passable. Two old clacks and two aluminum boats. As to the fish, two...

Thanks a bunch man! This is super helpful info. I've scoped that decker creek launch a few times, and always wondered about sending it through there. I think the current satelite images on Google are from some pretty high flows. That big braided log jam / bar looks like a guy could make some...

I have got a little motor I can hang off the back for those upstream rows. Though last time I tried to get from Satsop Mouth to Fuller it was not enough to get around the big bend.

Noted, this is not a terrible idea at all. Appreciate the tip, and will probably be hitting this section sooner rather than later. How long that section take ya at a leisurely stop and fish pace? I've tried bank fishing this section of the Chehalis a few times myself, as I drive around that...

Good afternoon folks, I've got ambitions to target Sea Run Cutthroat on the Satsop once we get a couple rains in Sept., but before it opens up for Salmon in October and turns into a zoo. I've got a 16 foot Alumaweld guide model, with two comfortable seats up front and all the other amenities of...

Now this is more likely!

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was previously unfamiliar with this nomenclature. Thanks.

But how could we be sure? I was thinking popper, of course. But they seemed to be sort of milling around rather than actively feeding.

So a fella was at an inspection a bit early today. I do this most days, it was certaintly not a special consideration after I realized the client happened to be purchasing a house on a tiny, unknown local lake with no real public access. Anyway, as I was working around the outside I happened...

Sort of, directly a tribute to Steven Flowe, the "Superwrestler". Who himself is a form of Pearl Jam tribute. I'm a sucker for a good gimmick performance as well.

That ALWAYS puts me in the mood.

Point taken. I'm sure I'll need to take some time off for Deer, Grouse, Elk, Ducks and Wrenching on Rusty Old Cars. In reality not so much that I want to fish every day as I want to be in good enough shape to pull it off when the mood strikes. Ha!

Glad you got a few chuckles in with the tears. That whole series is great. A real time warp. The effort that went into producing something like that back then was really tremendous compared to the modern youtube video series. Pretty cool they pulled it off. Not one cell phone in sight...

Try to keep it movin. I really enjoy serving the rural communities on the Penninsula / Coast, as I live in Shelton and have always been a small town guy. (Plus I get to road trip around some beautiful country, and see something different most days.) You certainly have to cover some miles to do...

That's awesome! I first came across the HOH River Steelhead River Journal Steve did around the time my daughter was born. I read it through many of her first sleepless newborn nights, thinking about the days she'd be old enough to get in the drift boat with me (went for her first boat ride...

Oh Yeah, for the sake of honesty, completely skunked. Didn't even turn a single fish head.

I had an absolute gold medal performance at the waste of time Olympics today, but ended it on a high tide at sunset with a saltwater beach to myself. Managed to hit every single accident I could on my way between jobs today, which of course involved one scheduled in Seattle and another...

Almost certainly, if only because the fish checkers are likely doing interviews at the ramp. They are everywhere though. Saw a "flosser" at hoodsport hatchery with a stringer last Sunday, and hatchery already had 1000 "on hand adults" as of Tuesday per today's escapement reports.

Fair enough. I forgot about Pacific Redfin. My apologies.
