The reports that we had from the Cowlitz River were fairly good over the weekend. Shawn fished the Blue Creek area down to Masseys on Saturday with a couple of friends and they managed to land 25 + steelhead over the course of the day. they found the fishing to be better in the afternoon and evening after most of the boats had pulled off the river. Most of the fish were colored up, though there were enough bright fish to keep things quite interesting. Though a lot of the water they fished had the potential of producing an odd king they were not lucky enough to hook any.
The Barrier Dam area produced just a few kings on Sunday. Though there were a great number of fish rolling in the area they seemed very reluctant to bite.
