in short, until I see some big steps being taken to save the wild fish I am not going to fish the rivers where the wild fish are. Hatchery fish don't do the same thing for me as the wild fish do and fishing the Cowlitz gets WAY too crowded at times. We will probably still fish the Cowlitz a couple times a year with Sexton or Norbeck but out of their boats.
