SPRINGERS!!!!!!!

[Caveman Jim]

The net numbers I heard about were dismal, not sure if we can believe it though......
I will not fish the Columbia this weekend since it's going to be a zoo at the ramps & I want no part of that.....

I agree. It was a big enough pita at Merwin after the derby.

I will be heading out at Odark30.
I have no choice the ball & chain only has the weekends off and she loves salmon fishing.

They did real good up by Bonneville Dam today. Not so good anywhere else.

 

[Bigbaddude]

I was thinking of fishing just east of the Lewis river.

Oh boy was it rough!!!! I have some major dock rash of my starboard front. You said you broke a bunk board on your trailer?

Just be careful not to venture into the Lewis river closure area. They are watching it very closely.

2600+ over Bonneville yesterday....Sound like lights out fishing to me. NOT! If ya' want to eat, you're odds are probably better planting a garden.

Or going to the Cowlitz!!!!!!

 

[Bigbaddude]

Go get them Caveman.
Not a thing happen where I am at.

 

[Caveman Jim]

That's what I figured, all hype from the fish (mis)managers.....
I'm going to the Cowlitz.
Thanks for the reply BBD.

Good luck out there @Caveman Jim!

Don't mind me Jim. I've got a whopping TWO springer trips under my belt this year, and you should be able to tell by the "Tude" that I didn't get one. People getting all excited about a three day opener for 2600 fish in that big river? I'm ecstatic that YOU still have the "" to get on 'em. Keep with it Jim!

 

[Caveman Jim]

Well the Cowlitz was a bust for us today, none wanted my super secrete bait.... but I got weter than a springer though.....

 

[Caveman Jim]

R U ready Ray? Let me know when you have a day off.

 

[Slobray]

R U ready Ray? Let me know when you have a day off.

I'm off on Friday the 26th for sure, but I may be able to get out Monday, I'll look into it.

You know the old saying: It's better to have fished and not caught than to not have fished at all or A bad day fishing is better than not fishing........

Wow! Bad form resurrecting your OWN necrothread!

Especially over something so ICKY as fish!!!

Really, I had never succumbed to that level

















I know & just love to ........ catch......

An avid Cowlitz river buddy of mine has been fishing for 2 weeks in this high water & the fish are just not cooperating. See stream flow chart from today (5-8k is optimal).....
