Cowlitz River?

Post by gpc » Sun Jun 20, 2010 8:17 pm

Hey guys/gals I was just wondering how the Cow is doing. I might be making it out there this weekend, depending on the fishing. More than likely I will be working saturday, so will get up there saturday night and get home sunday afternoon, would it be worth the trip for only a couple hours of fishing? Thanks in advance

Even with waters high Ive caught fish out of there this year. I know the river well and know where to fish high waters though. Ive had luck just using a little more lead and fishing the seams I know fish are at usually and have done good. I have not been down in 2 weeks though. That trip I landed an 8lb chromer. I might be going down this week, still undecided about the cow or the sky.
More fish please!

You are welcome! Checked the water levels today and they're even higher! But Flingin you're right, fish the sides and seams, and with a little more weight you should be able to hook into something.
