Thanks Vince, that sure brought back memories of exploring the creeks that drained into the Cowlitz before the dams went in and flooded everything. The best part then was that you never saw any other fishermen after about 1/2 mile. I did take the boat up on Riffe Lake a while back to walk up 2 of those streams. Should never have gone. Did not even see a fish in any holes,don't know if they were river fish that used to venture into the creeks or ?. I am still glad for the memories but would have liked to show the grandkids what I have told them about stream fishing for something besides planted trout.
