Looking for a guide
« on: September 04, 2012, 12:17:10 PM »
I've never had much luck fall fishing. I live in Longview so there's plenty of places to fish but would like to find a guide to fish the mouth of cowlitz/rainier bridge area or even further up the cowlitz. I see tons of guides in the area if anyone has gone on one of these trips and has a suggestion of what guide to take it would be helpfull. Thanks

I've fished the Cowlitz with Bob Barthlow a few times. I'd go again in a heartbeat. Great guy,really knows the Cowlitz and will put you on fish.

Look up Fishingforfunguideservice.com, that is Bruce Warren, a great guide or Casey Weigel of Waters West Guide Service (fishwaterswest.com). Both are very good! :hello:

If it were me I would book with Phil Stevens (Mystical Legends) or Bob Barthlow. They are both top notch guides and know the Cowlitz inside out.

I'd vote for Bob also. I have fished the Klick, Vernita, and the Cowlitz with him. Great guide. I think he moved to The Dalles but not sure about that. I worked with Bob in Yakima in the meat business.

I have been with Bob Bartlow and Chuck Wicken.   Both were great in knowledge and company.  Couldn't go wrong with either one.

Thanks for the info guys I'll definitely look into bob and these other these guides. I'm headed to the coast this weekend so I booked a trip with pacific salmon charters out of illwaco for sat with my dad but still plan on taking another one on the the cowlitz or Columbia. Maybe even the Lewis? so if anyone has anymore suggestion of who to call or not to call that be awesome.
