Went down to the Cowlitz this last weekend, first we went to Barrier Dam we didn't even get our gear out it was ridiculous shoulder to shoulder people with bad attitudes, the majority of fish being caught were ugly old kings, and only a few silvers seen caught.
Saturday we get some reports that the mouth of the Toutle was on fire so we shot down there only to be disappointed again with no room at all to squeeze in probably no less then 80 plus people on the beach and we counted 14 boats up and down the area, very few people catching anything saw 3 silvers landed in 6 hours and those guys were running 10 foot floss-er lines.
If this is how fishing is going to be I think I will give fishing up it is fricken ridiculous.
Well surprise, surprise!
You discovered the status quo for Cracker Floss-fest of Southwest Washington.
Years ago, On an invite from the Thief/Tweeker FASTFISH, I was introduced to Blue Creek a few years ago while it was what it used to be. After 3 drifts I sliced off my line, put my rod in it's case and seriously contemplated NEVER fishing EVER again.
Straight up, the ilk that infest Barrier Dam/Blue Creek are the lowest scum of West Coast's Appalachia that are so intellectually, fiscally, and morally bankrupt that they cannot afford to feed their offspring through conventional means.
PS-Have fun replacing your car window glass that was smashed out to get at the butts in your ashtray while you were parked at the launch.
