For those that are fishing the Satsop did as forecasted going from around 2500 cfs to around 11,000 cfs overnight. It is 10 AM and it is cresting at the Satsop Nursery bridge. It is going to take around 4 days to drop to 6000 cfs and a few more days to be back down to 2600 cfs. How fast it clears is going to depend where you are I think but the Chehalis is going to be around the same flows as the Satsop above Fuller Hill so you should have a burst of color there but not a blow out. The Willis property on the Satsop will likely muddy things up as it continues to erode.

So choose your poison the mud is going to be one place or another. The old rule is Upper Chehalis water takes 4 days to reach the bay so the Satsop may clear and the Chehalis muddy up as the upper basin muddy spot comes down stream.
