I have been watching the forecast on NOAA's site also and as of now its the 18th for any real rain but it appears to be mostly South of us. We are looking at 1/4 to maybe 1/2 an inch. https://www.nwrfc.noaa.gov/weather/10_day.cgiHopefully we get the rain but to early to dry to do much even with the rain we have gotten so far. Water temps have got to be dropping and that will help the river for sure. Damn near the whole Coho run coming in way early like last year is certainly out but like the saying says " fish will do what fish will do ". Somebody could make a fortune if they figured it out!!!

Amen to that!
I agree that it's probably not going to go like last season, and I think (hope) you lower river folks are going to have some fun, as long as the fish start moving before the nets go in.
My hope is always for steady movement (as opposed to bulk movement in brief events, which is what we get most of the time), because that tends to make for longer seasons and spread out the success among all groups. Like you said, nobody knows the magic set of circumstances that guarantee good fishing seasons, but my anecdotal take is that if NOAA is right, the OP will be getting light but steady rainfall over the next 10 days, with one event on the 18th that could dump an inch in the mountains. That should at least double flows (which are still quite low, but cooling) in the lower tribs, and past experience suggests that should be plenty to move some fish. Hope so, but yeah....

Well I finally observed a couple of fish doing the back ripple at slack water. No idea on what fish but one appeared to be wounded by the way it was acting. Incoming tide nothing showing so far.

Had some folks ask me what is up with the river and it is about what I posted before and yes as usual fish are working their way up stream but it is not in any great numbers from what I see. I doubt the rain coming tomorrow will change that.
What will change things is the rain starting the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd, and 24th is supposed to bring 3.41 inches over three days. ( 21st not so much ) So in the world of planning fishing I do believe the tribs are going to brown out for a few days and the Upper Chehalis takes 3 or so days to get to tidewater so you guys might be thinking location as the tribs will clear fast but the Chehalis will trail in both browning out and clearing up. So have a week of this weather and fishing then all hell is breaking loose.

I know the person in Charge.....Works for GH Port but her office is at the Nuke Plant. Reason it is "gated and locked, 24/7" is a shooting and person drown, trash, fire, tree's were cut down, donuts in the big area, dump off place for yard waste, etc. You'll have an answer, soon!!!!

Weather forecast has been like chasing a drunk down the street on Saturday night. Anyhow our big rain event that was supposed to be around the 22nd is now just just a rainy day or so. So the weather pattern we have is likely to continue for the next 10 days. Looking around fish movement is spotty if you find them they bite but it is not the same everwhere. Watched a banky turn loose a Chinook keep a Coho but the other 10 or so guys not a bite. Kinda like that.
