Cowlitz River Smelt Season

Looks as if there may be a few smelt entering into the lower Cowlitz river. We have heard from some of our sources that the commercial boys took a bunch in the lower river as well as the seals, sea lions and seagulls have been working them over. Hopefully, we will have some still around when it opens next Saturday. The sports season is as follows for the Cowlitz:

Limit 10 pounds daily and in possession.

We have both dip nets and replacement net bags.
