If you known someone with a small boat. You might try fishing at Lake Scanewa (Cowlitz Falls Dam). They have been doing really good on coho that have been trucked up and released at the PUD boat ramp in the lake.

There are several guides that are fishing that area right now. River flows have come on both the lower and upper Cowlitz, so I don't know what the water conditions are in the lake.

Lower Cowlitz (below Mayfield) is running at 9300 cfs and will make fishing really tuff unless you want to walk in at Blue Creek. It's almost to early to expect any good fresh fish at Blue Cr.

Is the taste of the bait worth the sting of the hook????
