Well, without a doubt this has been a "Bust" fishery for the recreational smelt dipper. Saturday is the last day in the Cowlitz. I made a few calls today and from what I was told there is virtually no sign in the lower Cowlitz indicating that there are smelt around. No Birds! No Seals! No Sea Lions!
Sounds as if its done for this year! Perhaps the WDFW and ODFW needs to reassess the population and close this fishery until it recovers - that is if it ever does!
Just have to find something else to do this weekend. Perhaps go dig razor clams!
