Just curious CFM,Finally, you said "Considering the statewide conditions the cowlitz ain't doing all that bad." Well you right, but when you consider how many smolts have been released, you may want to reconsider your thoughts! You should be seeing the returns now from the release of 635,000 early Winter run, 85,000 late Winter run, 430,000 Summer run. That's a total of 1,150,000.00 smolts that should be coming back. And that is not including any "natural" late run smolts that were released that past through the new Cowlitz Falls Fish Collection Facilities.

Well any idea what happend to all of them? Hatchery lied or El Nino?

By the way I agree with you, that it is slow, dead slow.

15 fish over 19lbs. I'd have to see em to believe it...
