GIVE IT A REST BOYS!!! This river has been mentioned here a good number of times. Even though it says I'm from edmonds I spent the first 25 of my life in Tumwater, ooooppps is that a zipper too? This river is by no means a zipper! When you can go there after work during the middle of the week and hardly find a parking spot how big of a zipper is it?? Not even going to talk about how many people you see there on a weekend? Besides anyone ever fished the cowlitz? The damn river crosses I-5. I'm sure nobody has seen or heard of it before. I also agree with the guy who posted a few post ago. Don't respond and it will be off the screen in a matter of minutes.

As for the fishing, It has been fair to good on the lower river. Getting a few up near the hatchery. good luck and fish on!!!
