Went down to the Cowlitz this last weekend, first we went to Barrier Dam we didn't even get our gear out it was ridiculous shoulder to shoulder people with bad attitudes, the majority of fish being caught were ugly old kings, and only a few silvers seen caught.
Saturday we get some reports that the mouth of the Toutle was on fire so we shot down there only to be disappointed again with no room at all to squeeze in probably no less then 80 plus people on the beach and we counted 14 boats up and down the area, very few people catching anything saw 3 silvers landed in 6 hours and those guys were running 10 foot floss-er lines.
If this is how fishing is going to be I think I will give fishing up it is fricken ridiculous.
