Crazy...it don't think its because you're a kid, but maybe because this topic has/is being discussed in other threads you've missed.

I haven't fished the Cowlitz lately, but can tell you from what I've read here and on other boards its doing well. One thing you might do next time is look through the last several day's posts to see if the topic has come up or use the search feature to see what has already been said about the topic.

Good luck if you go. I understand the water is getting a bit skinny right now.
