Ya, the cowlitz is open for springers. They got the 1000 fish needed at the hatchery. I believe its 1 adult king a day. A friend of mine that was on the cowlitz when it was closed to springers said they were really stacked up below barrier dam! So try it out and at the least you can catch summerruns. Let us know how you do if you fish it. Nobody gives reports out there!
