 I've been targeting the Cowlitz recently and water is still running high but
there are abundant fish for the taking. The water level makes it more difficult
but we are averaging about a 1/2 dozen solid hook-ups per day. On Saturday the
bite was on solid until the water level was raised around noon and it just
killed the bite. I have had my best results side drifting eggs and prawns, with
hook-ups on bait divers as well. SEE MORE GREAT

Fished the Cowlitz this past weekend and the water was running high for
mid-June, about 10,400 cfps. There are fish there to be caught but we had to
work for them. I'm hoping the water level drops to normal flows to increase
catch rates. We fished from Blue Creek to the Toledo bridge with most fish being
caught between Blue Creek and Mission. Both bait divers and side drifting are
producing fish and be sure to concentrate in the shallow choppy water opposed to
the deep fast running slots for the best action when side drifting. |

Fished the Columbia on Friday and had good success. We hooked 3 Spring
Chinook near Cathlamet trolling herring with an 18" dropper. We lost a 20+ at
the boat and landed two nice springers 15 and 13 pounds. Fishing pressure was
heavy and we saw other fish caught. This fishery was just getting going and
unfortunately it will all move upriver from here on out, but there will be
plenty of fish for everyone who is willing to brave the crowds. |
