It'd be nice to put some faces to names. Anyone fishing the dam this weekend? Not near the deadline, but just below drifting.

I'm considering a driftboat run from Barrier to Blue Creek this weekend. I've never run that stretch. From what I've seen from the road, the water doesn't look too bad.
Does any body know that water or want to talk about particular hazards? I dont know what the river flows will be this weekend, and that can be a factor.
I'm a fairly experienced rower, manage the SolDuc with not too much damage or without using too many depenz ...., so any heads up would be appreciated.

I will be there Friday - Monday, I'm staying at the Barrier Dam Campground. We'll be doing some morning fishing at Blue Creek and afternoons at the dam. I have a 20' Black Alumaweld with our logo on the side "Warters NW River Guides". If you see me let me know and we can have a beer or..?

Head Hunter,

It's a cake walk compared to the Sol Duc, there is one shoot about a mile downstream that can be a little tricky but don't loose any sleep over it. If the City of Tacoma repeats the flows of the weekends past it should be between 5000 - 6500 CFS.. perfect.

If you can run the duc threr is nothing on the cow that sould consern you I can run my boat all the way up The flow sould be around 5000-6000 by the weekend.

KC,

I thought you might hsve dropped of the edge of the earth. How have you been, you fishing the Cow this weekend?

im hopin to be at the barrier, has it been producing, and is there lots of fisherman?? if so, i may jus head over to riffe lake to do some kokanee fishing..**berkley boy**

Thanks, Guys.
If I can get my partner outta bed before noon, we'll have a go at it on one of the days.
Any Springers still showing?
