Fished the river yesterday the cottonwood was not to bad but it's run at 5000cfs make a big diffrents.Was at Barrier Dam doing test on boat motor pull some plugs and guess what cottonwood not much just small amounts.My point here is that the Cow is lined with cottonwood there is no real timber on the river. On lake Mayfield the shorline is all COTTOWOOD !!!!!!. Pure poision if it was I been dead along time ago. This post has been up before and still no scientific fact that it's not COTTOWOOD show me the facts that it's not and this will all be cleared up once and for all. Remember this is just my two scent
