Cowlitz River Reports

The past couple of days have been quite good on the Cowlitz for steelhead. One of the customers had three limits of steelhead both yesterday and today by 9:00 a.m.. He was boat fishing below the trout hatchery launch down to the clay banks. Free drifting E-Z Eggs / Yarn and Puff Ball / Yarn combinations with a little Mike's Shrimp Oil was the key to their success. We have alos had good reports from the guys fishing the bank in the same area. There have been a few Chinook caught in the Barrier Dam section by the bank fishermen drifting eggs. It's still early for good numbers of salmon and will only get better.
