Title: cowlitz possibly closing for springers?
Post by: plunker01 on April 11, 2013, 05:50:49 PM: So yesterday I was at one of my favorite fishin holes and the bio came by to check us. We bs with her for awhile about how the nets did and how many fish she checked and the usual stuff. Then shesaid that the count at the damn was very low and that they were actually kicking around closing the cowlitz for springers until the number come up. She said there has only been like 12 at the damn. Has anyone else heard this?
