Title: Did Good on the Upper Cowlitz Today
Post by: huntergreg on October 19, 2010, 09:26:42 PM: Landed 5 fish today. was a blast out there. saw lots of them caught today. I lost alot of them. had them on and they put up a good fight. Always have to check your leader out there in the river. The rocks do a number on them.

Post by: huntergreg on November 09, 2010, 05:04:40 PM: Oh yeah they are still in there like crazy. I have been down there every weekend. 2 weeks ago on Sunday and Monday we brought home 14 of them. They will be in there until the end of Dec. I was there over the weekend and hooked onto 5 of them and got 2 in. I took 5 buddies with and we all caught fish. One of them ended up with 5 keepers another with 4. I am heading back over there for the day on sat. It is crazy on the weekends. Lots of people. But we have to catch them while we can!!!!

Post by: huntergreg on November 09, 2010, 05:16:47 PM: They have been dumping over 1000 silvers a week up there. There hasn't been a day I have been there I haven't caught anything. Check out the link. The truck shows up with a load of fish 1-4 times a day depending on how many fish they get. Each truck has 90 to 170 fish per truck. First truck shows up around 9:30am. But get there a few hours before daylight to get a spot.
