wow,water is down, dropped from 6,400 to 5,030 cfs. Nate and I fished from 8am to 2:15pm, pounded the launch drift and also wandered down below Blue Creek and side-drifted and pulled plugs. We saw a fish caught throughout the day, but no way was it on fire. "OK" would be my take. A few caught by the bankies, and some caught by boats. We got nada, it pains me to say. Certainly had high hopes for the day. Don't know if I'll get back to the Cowlitz this year but it was nice to get down there and see the river after many years away.
