So I've been looking at the fish counts over the dams for what that's worth and decided it's time to start beating the water, planning on heading to the Cowlitz Saturday and if it's slow fishing or heavily crowded I'm headed to the klickitat Sunday, floating both rivers in the drift boat, (I need a couple more chunks knocked off the boat so the klickitat gets the call) anyone else headed that way this weekend, or just returned with some sage wisdom. Thanks.

Tied every night all week long, now it's time to find a box, stuff em in, hook up the boat and off to the rivers in the early AM.

Good luck! I might try my luck at some coho tomorrow, but it will be a little closer to home, probably the sky. Anyone have any recommendations for that particular piece of water? Or somewhere near?

how do you check for fish counts in the dams? Just curious sounds like a good resource.

Hi D,

Tacoma Power tracks the number of fish that they recover at the Barrier Dam, up by the salmon hatchery, on the Cowlitz. Here is the most recent update: http://www.mytpu.org/tacomapower/parks-rec/fish-wildlife/cowlitz-fish-report.htm.

Now find the fish. Good looking flies, good luck.

Nice selection. If you tie up some more throw in a few with orange and gold. The B-runs that should be in now aren't too picky, but I've done well with orange comets, and a polar shrimp variant using gold ribbing. Gotta get out myself, - maybe tomorrow.
