 My family used to dip in the lower Cowlitz, the runs started disappearing maybe 20 years ago. Been getting worse ever since, I haven't talked to anyone who has gotten any in years.

When I was a kid, it was a 1-1/2 hour drive and 1 dip was 1 limit then a 1-1/2 drive home, wasn't real exciting when your 12. Oh ya, then we had to clean the damn thing
