Well flyrod had a good site but Killer you need this url http://boat.iac.wa.gov/launches.asp?county=Lewis I floated it last Friday... saw a few fish taken we had a dark summer run in the net and put it back... saw a few taken but was pretty slow... but I can say that we fished in December for steelhead, in the sunshine, in moderate cloths... You can't say that every day...! Anyway good luck and tight lines! Let us know how it goes... _________________________ ---------------------- "Many go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after." - Thoreau South King County - PSA Save Our Fish - PSA CCA Sea-Tac

spawnout Spawner Registered: 01/21/02 Posts: 842 Loc: Satsop	Uh, very dam(n) little more water, maybe went up a couple hundred CFS. That river needs to be closer to 6000 than 3000 this time of year for it to be any good for me - at 6000 I can run it with a prop. _________________________ The fishing was GREAT! The catching could have used some improvement however........

ak_floater Smolt Registered: 05/19/00 Posts: 73 Loc: Renton, WA	Fished from a sled on Thursday. Caught a mix of summer run and silvers. Nouthing bright. Most boats were fairing about the same. Very few winter fish caught. Not normal for this time of year.

Pautzke Fry Registered: 12/16/02 Posts: 33 Loc: Kelso, Washington	Well is it still crowed as hell during the week at Blue Creek? Just curious if anyone has seen if there are masses of people like we all heard there was on Sunday (250 rig in the parking lot)..... WOW!!! The best bet would be is to glow ball that S.O.B and avoid the crowd if the rivers remain high everywhere elese..... Just a thought. _________________________ There's no head, like steelhead!!!

Mike C Registered: 04/05/01 Posts: 1373 Loc: Redmond	Klick Killer, The lake you're inquiring about is lake Skanewa (sp) and it is indeed further up Hwy 12 from the Cowlitz. Reports are posted over on WashingtonLakes.com. Good fishing earlier, don't know about lately. _________________________ Mike, Editor www.washingtonlakes.com "Featuring readers lake and saltwater reports."

glowball Spawner Registered: 12/06/00 Posts: 783 Loc: bullcanyon	went duckhunting up there last week and seen thousands jump but looked like a lot of boots. talked to a couple guys fishing and they said 1 out of maybe 10 is good. They were catching fish though. _________________________ There's no head like steelhead! Operations manager of coors light testing facility.
