Heading down to the Big C to chase some Springers this weekend, just wondering how many other board members are going to be down that way?? Will be down there with Rick68, The Walrus and Directional Finder fishing around the Kalama area Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I'll post a report when we get back.

I'm going to hit the area between Kalama and Longview on Saturday. Probably launch at Kalama and anchor on the Oregon side across from the Cowlitz. Then after the tide change we'll troll the area below the grain elevators.

i have a trip booked for sat. going down by cathlemet [sp] talk to guide last night no fish last two days so thinking about waiting a week

just returned from Cathlamet,fished Mon,for 6 fish,Tues for 3 and Wed for 1; the river got steadly more dirty until Wed afternoon it had about 5 inches of clarity, basically blown,however the good news was that of the 10 fish we got all were over 20lb's,2 almost 30lb's and only 2 were natives

A couple of us will be there Sat. also. Launching at Kalama and may head down to the Cowlitz.

Erndog

I'll be out of Cathlamet, smaller whaler with an old guy driving, i'm the young one in the front. Report from this morning wqs a few fish and vis was about 18 inches. I will be there Friday and Saturday, maybe Sunday morning.

NEN

PS. do not have VHF, but will be monoriting the FRS radio channels, not sure which one i'll be on.

I'll be down waving Goharley into the spot I should have taken. Last two trips I've waved friends in next to me - they've hit fish, I've gotten skunked. Maybe I just smell bad.

Harley, I'll be down there friday afternoon, saturday and sunday. Maybe monday. Talked to Doubletake who was down there today. The water is pretty cloudy, but the two boats he talked to at the ramp each had hit fish. I've got a theory about how to deal with it.

I am allready here and will be trolling herring

Just found out that my fishing partner can't go until Sunday. So it looks like another day of waiting for me. Guess I'll have to brew beer on Saturday, instead.

SH, hope I can find you out there. I'd like to be the one you park in the fish lane. We probably won't get to the launch until about 6 AM, then we'll shoot down river to the anchoring spot. I'm going to brine some herring for trolling after the tide change, too.

We will be fishing Longview/ Kalama Fri & Sat. We got fish last Sun in that area,all were nates' be looking for keepers this trip.

Harley, I'll be in the spot, with two fish in the boat, on my second cup of coffee, by the time you get there.

My boat is a blue over silver north river inboard, big white cooler with "Silver Hilton" on the back. We'll be sideways to the current, drifting, waving a net. Feel free to pull in along side of it's open.

Doubletake said it was pretty muddy today, but the Willamette is clearing, and it should be fine for us by Sunday. Saturday may be iffy, however.

I'll be fishing out of Cathlamet on Saturday with my Dad and Son. White Harbercraft, say hi if ya see us.
Good luck and tight lines, Jeff

I'm taking my new boat down to Cathlamet Saturday, hopefully to get her all bloody Will get herring blood on it anyway 16 foot Smokercraft Lodge SS with a Yami 25 on it. I'll be trolling herring in the channel from daylight until high tide - good tides this weekend so maybe I'll get lucky

We'll be out between willow grove and Rainier bridge Sat hopefully sun and then again monday.White Predator w/red stripe,Suzy-Q on the back(its my wifes)

Heading towards st helens, good luck to all
