What happened to the Cowlitz
« on: Today at 03:13:39 PM »
There's still coho to had, but man.....This river used to be lights out for silvers, but its just gone down hill.  All kinds of ways to fish em, like casting plugs, twitching jigs, bobber and eggs, spinners, back bouncing mag lips, etc...but just a few fish here and there.  20 years ago you could troll wiggle warts and put 10 fish in the boat by noon.  Now just landing a nice bright fish consistently isn't easy. If watching black Chinook roll is your thing, the Cowltiz is the spot

Its far from over, but we were catching chromers in Mid Sept last year. Maybe they run is just late this year

Early Cowlitz coho are notorious for lock jaw. Wait for some cold snaps. Early Nov gets good when river stays below 6k.
