Looking to do some fishing in the next day or two for some salmon. What rivers are holding/producing? Neighbors only went out once or twice so lookin to take him out for some fun.
-
If I were to go out, it would be the Cow for Springers. Barrier or Blue if banking it.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Wasnt sure if people were actually catching anything and that's a long drive "just to see" lol
-
They are catching a few springers everyday at the barrier. Along with some steelhead. Also getting steelhead at Blue creek.
Talked to the separator crew Monday. I believe they said they got 369 springers Monday. 700 so far to date. Same day last year they had 17 to date!

My daughter picked up a 14lb springer last night. She was fishing with a family friend on his property between Toledo and I-5. She had one on earlier in the day but lost it, and had another hit about 20 minuets after landing the 14 pounder.

Is that an invite? :chuckle:

I have to call a week in advance if I want to go fishing. >:( and then it's usually a no go.

Never fished there, so it would be all new to me. Thanks for the heads up. PM me if you got any specific spots in mind. Not looking for any honey holes just a general spot to hit the bank and show the neighbor a good time.

Its been a few years since I've fished there, but if you drive up to the "painted rock" and drop down into the canyon, there's some great fishing to be had down there. Never fished it for springers, but I've caught plenty of steelhead down there.
-
The road follows the river and there are tons of pull offs. If springer fishing is decent, you better reserve your rock way before daylight. And, it isn't like Barrier where you can just pile in. The spots only hold a person or two and it wont' be taken well if you crowd in on folks too much.

Just left kalama. Nothing at all goin on there. Mayne one fish banked that's it. Heading back to cowlitz.
-
Seen Steelhead at Cowlitz. One chinook banked, snagged, and released.. Approx 16-18lbs. Fricken zoo at blue creek. I counted 29 empty boat trailers an about 7 more boats on trailers. Lots of people camping down there. All you can smell is boat fuel and hear people roaring up the river every 2 minutes. Two people about to get in a fist fight as I was leaving over snagged lines. :bash: people are so stupid.
