I am taking Friday off to go fish Blue Creek. Is is the Cowlitz going to be in shape? Or should I save the vacation day? Oh yea hellow board, long time lurker, first time poster..............

I'd try one of the other boards for the river conditions

Check out what the river flows look like. Over 13,000 CFS and it's looking pretty murky and too fast, although Blue Creek holds up better than the rest of the river with high water conditions. I believe Bob has a river levels link over on his site, otherwise check out:

Good luck and welcome to the forum.

Anytime you can take a day off for fishing is a bonus. The river dropped a bit, but we've been getting a good amount of rain. River looks better. Good luck wherever you end up!!
