Wife and I heading out for a few days fishing the rivers coming off
the Southern slopes of the Olympic mountains. This is the northern
part of what's generally referred to as the "treefarm," not for logger
haters, lots of logging trucks to dodge usually. Decker Creek, the
different forks of the Satsop, the Wynoochie, the Wishkah. All
accessible over low divides. Eat some Jo Jos.
Mostly looking at smallish cutts, who knows what else. Generally these
are lightly fished, except when salmon are about. Finish a painting I
started at Black creek on the nooch. Maybe go out to the coast and
walk the Moclips or Copalis beach.

Dave,
Just got back from spending a week in that area (Pacific Beach) with my kids
& grandkids. *Didn't get to fish the rivers, but tried for surf perch - no
luck, don't know what I'm doing re the salt.
With the lousy timber market right now, not as many log trucks to dodge, but
all those vigorous second growth stands are a nice break from the monotony
of the Old Growth Rain Forest in ONP. *8)

Right, and those lovely straight as an arrow sale area lines are a
nice touch. Not. But at least most of these mixed stands on the West
running Olympic drainages will come back for future harvests. Even the
upper Wynoochee around the old Grisdale Camp is healing, slowly.

The sins that get to me are those like what was done in the cedar
stands on the Quinault Rez. Definitely a job for "fire, our friend".
And I'd guess these type of sins are fewer, or at least smaller these
days (don't know if same applies for the Canadians).

But Bob, my question is . . . when are they going to hire you to do
color commentary on that "America's Toughest Jobs" show about the
dueling logging crews? %-))

Pacific Beach has got to be one of the top secrets of the US Navy.
