Cowlitz Kings yesterday

[Cap.Silver]

Went to Cowlitz by Castle Rock ,we fished up and down river .....bouncing lead and running divers . It was 6 of us hooked 5 kings of which 2 were wild about 20+lbs ;one jack and 2 hatchery fish about 12lbs. Saw whole bunch of bankies plunking ,one pulling out nice king about 10+lbs . Not too many boats ,but still too busy for me ...

Sounds like a good time reguardless of the crowds. Glad you caught some fish Martin.

I hate the crowds too! I just wish all the guide boats would sink and leave the cowlitz to us locals! It used to be a fun river to fish.

[Huntbear]

Looks like you had a good time..

Time to hit the river again.. maybe tomorrow morning.

I can't even stand to fish the river I grew up fishing because of all the guides that hog the river there must be a hundred guides working on the cowlitz right now ond only 2 of them are worth dang! Robs guide service and a guide who's name is Nick Norbeck way to go guys I just wish the rest of the out of towners were as respectfull as those 2.  Then there's all the snaggers we have to compete with. And 99 percent of them are from either olympia or vancover! Its just sad that us locals who have been fishing the cowlitz for years can't even go out and enjoy the wonderful river that runs in our back yard!

NICK NORBECK CAN CATCH FISH AND A GRATE PERSON TO BE WITH

[elkontherun]

I agree nick is by far the best guide around respectfull polite and he knows how to catch fish. I just wish more guides were like him!

[Button Nubbs]

Yeah, everyone should leave "your" river alone. get real

I know a few guides just as cool as Nick. but not many. Allot of the locals are just as big of doosh bags as some of the guides. people are just out for them self and don't get it. mostly because they have had nobody to show them the right way of doing things.

I just miss the days when everyone on the river knew your name and was friendly and you could count on help if you needed it!

Uhhhh.....Nic lives in Olympia/Lacey and I'm pretty sure Rob does too 

[Turkeyman]

That's why he stated that it would be nice if the rest of the out of towners would be like them. Uhhh
