Bank Walker - Oh, I have the full meal deal planned. Loaning him my stinky, egg smothered waders (too small for his big gut), alarm set for 4am (we have a party to attend the night before so he should be good..), bad coffee, im gonna forget the top for the boat, maybe get some rain, pull over wade a bit and drift fish a bit with bright red eggs, oh yeah....he'll love it.

RT,Centerpin thanks for the tips. Cowlitz has always provided a fish or two. RT I've never been on the Lewis for some unknown reason (too much professional crap in the way is the obvious reason). The (f)Dam operators on the Nooch have me a little pissed.....I know it didnt rain enough to blow it up to 2500 cfs over the past four days.

I will have one more oportunity to check this thread before I fly so anyone with recent (last two days or so)experience and advice would be appreciated...

Later,
