Fishguts,

Lowell is way down below Snohomish and not to far above the I-5 bridge. It is accessed throgh the Lowell River Road. I can't remember the specifics but they have a very nice ramp there. Depending on the tide it can have significant flow or actually flow upstream with the incoming tide. I fished it last year and got fish but nothing like I did in the upper river. It is mostly a trolling show in the lower Snohomish as the fish don't stick around to long and it's fairly big water so you want to cover lots of ground anyway. If you want a good workout, then rowing upstream is not a problem. There is not too much flow at Lowell even when the tide is running out unless the river is way up. Same thing around the town of Snohomish. I strongly suggest using an electic motor of at least 50 lbs. thrust. I run a Minn Kota 50 and I can cruise upstream in slower flows and it saves me a lot of rowing. Not that I'm lazy, not at all, but Its hard to hold a rod and oars at the same time. Can't let my buddies have all the fun. Not to mention you can troll through the frog water. Very productive method. Good Luck.
