On your way to the Cowlitz, stop by the Ethel store on Hwy 12. If you are lucky my friend Don Huntley will be in there, he is by far the best guide on the Cowlitz..he knows it inside out. He catches fish when other guides don't and they tend to follow him around on the river, been with him on many occasions to witness it. If he's at the store you can pick his brain, he has forgotten more about steelhead fishing on the Cowlitz then most guides know and likes to help out the new guy.
