With over 40 hours of guiding the Cowlitz River in the past week with a average of 4 rods in the water at all times we have averaged 5-6

Steelhead a day, under normal water conditions we would have put 8-11 Summer Run Steelhead in the boat.

When the River gets back down to about 3500 CFS I expect the bite to turn back on. Good Luck Fishing, Scott
