Cowlitz steelhead report
« on: March 12, 2016, 04:26:18 PM »
Cowlitz is running pretty steady, pressure is actually normal for this time of year with Friday through Sunday being the heaviest.  Fishing is decent, I am running about a 65%verage on full boat limits which I feel pretty decent about given the conditions.  Fishing is steady if you fish the soft water pockets and slower water where fish are holding and just be persistent.  Casting is getting hard from all the line hanging in trees and all the line in the water but that is expected with all the boats fishing.  I have seen bank anglers at the "old blue creek" doing ok but have not seen allot up by the crack pipe but I honestly do not fish that side very much so I never really pay that much attention attention.  Seems like most boats are catching a fish or 2 so everyone is getting along pretty good so far...good luck!
