Lookn to hit the Satsop again this Sunday and was wondering how the river level is up at the sate park. Hoping it'll be like last Sunday.

Fish on,

was up there friday morning...the water has cleared up a bit and the fish are moving, the park down to the s-curves are getting lots of attention right now.

lots and lots of fish up high....and lots and lots and lots of people too.....and all the silvers are dark...if you are into black bellied silvers, this is th place to go.

I do believe I watched CM reel in a fish with a stick. There are a bunch of dogs up towards the park with a few dark silvers. Water was in good shape Friday......

Thanks for the report guys.
Last week we got into some Chrome silvers. I wouldn't sell this river short for the late run that comes in there. Hopefully this rain will let up late tonight so we can have a river to fish in the morning.

Fished the Chehalis near the mouth of the Satsop and it was coloring up as time went up. While I was anchored at the mouth of the Satsop my buddy took his sled up into the Satsop and came back down after he said that there was a tree across the river. Boy, did they get some rain down there, never did see a fish rise or caught and there were quite a few boats there.

Took a little boat walk down the E. Fork of the Satsoup. I say boat "walk" because that's what we had to do most of the way. Saying the water was "low", was a gross understatement.

Lots and lots and lots of chummers and dark cohos. Lots and lots of people as well. The only bright cohos I saw were spot flossed. You'd hear the guys below us "Dude! There's a bright one! Get em'!"

It's a great little river if you want to practice your snagging or flossing skills, when the water is way low and clear. I saw more fish come in by the tail, or belly than I care to tell you. Made Blue Creek seem like a tame little kiddy park. Or, you could be like Hillbilly Bob we saw at the confluence that wasn't even trying to be descrete. Trebble hook, lead, toss out, yank, bring the chum by the tail. Kept all that he hooked while I was watching...at least 3-4. Tossed all of them up in to the bushes. Looked right at us and didn't care less. Guy looked like he'd have no problem just shooting us and leaving us for dead if we made a stink about it. Realy fine folk over there on Friday.

Not that I'd ever keep a chum, but can one even keep chums on the E. Fork of the Satsoup? If so, what is/was the limit?

Had a lot more fun in the Satsoup runnin' K-15's. No slivers, but a ton of chummer take downs. Beats a kick to the head...I guess.

One more cast...yep...that was me...you should have said hi or something.

That was funny.....I caught a piece of line and could tell there was a fish attached...so I wound it around a stick and kept winding until I had the fish on the beach...un hooked him and let him go.....he was tired.

parker,i went up to the confluence myself and watched hillbilly bob.definately someone you shouldn't say anything to.looked like he wouldn't have any problem killing you over a chum i also watched team flossing, that was interesting.the bottom guy spotted for his 3 freinds and they flossed them as the fish came by.my freind has property at satko glen and i drive up there to watch the mayham when i need some insight on what not to do when fishing on the good side the hatchery has all the fish they need and the coho run was very strong this year.scott
