Just thought someone might want to know about the Cowlitz.

Today's trip found me and a partner at the Barrier Dam at daylight drift fishing from the bank. We had a 20# buck on the bank at 6:00 and finished the day at 9:00 with a 14# hen. Caught on corkies/eggs. BIG EGG baits.

Millions of fry being released up there. Was quite the challenge to keep them off your hook. Suggest people use a bigger hook so not to hook very many (we used 2/0 and 3/0), no sense hurting our big fish of tomorrow.

Lots of people playing bankers hours (people started showing up around 7 ish). Though we were lucky enough to take fish home, we only saw 1 other fish hooked (boat).

PS.
Great site Bob!
