hit up the cowlitz river blue creek boatlaunch at daybreak. hopped in the boat with my brother-in-law and best friend. . we fished all day shooting up and down the river mainly in the blue creek area. high hopes we had after hearing how well the river was producing in the prevoius 3 days. the only fish hooked was the one in the picture. my buddy mike landed a hawg. it was his first steelhead ever. {what a way to pop your cherry} hopefully it will pick up soon
