As a humble citizen of this humble county I can only tell you that some of us are trying to make it better.......

I think Riffe and the upper cowlitz have potential though.......

Hopefully the ramp extensions at Taidnapum and Mossyrock will be just a start..... the lake will start rising soon and reach full reservoir level in late may or early june.. Most sporties fish it during the summer when the ramps are accessible and this tends to be from about May to October......

and it should be noted that there is lots of competition for a sport fisher's attention during those months..... With better access during the low water times the lake will be available in January, February and march of most years and those months tend to be a bit lean in regard to other opportunities in the state....

because there are fish to be caught at Riffe Lake in the winter we just need to make it possible for sport fishers to get their boats on the water during that season....

Lake Scanewa fishery has really come alive the last few years because of tanker truck deliveries from the lower cowlitz... late october to Early January is a busy time on this lake.. lots of fish to catch and the access gets very crowded...... but there's only one decent access and that's right on lake scanewa... the fish actually run all the way up the cispus and the upper cowlitz... we need 3 or 4 access points (there are literally "none" right now) along each of these rivers to facilitate those with drift boats and those who want to try different spots with their jet pumps....

I'm working on a letter to county commissioners to recommend just that.. it should be in the mail soon...
