The rivers have been a little high but fish able. With the high snow pack it will probably last for a bit. I prefer high with some color vs. low and clear anyways.
The Stilly started out showing a few hatchery fish but it has slowed a bit now.
The sky has been producing some nice steelies all the way up to Reiter Pond. They don't come easy but if you put in a little time you have got a good shot. I have been using a little heavier sinktips because of the higher water. The gear guys have been catching just as many springers as steelies. They are hard to come by on the fly though, I have caught a few in the past while steelheading but we just got lucky.
Dad has been down on the Cowlitz for the last few days. He has been finding some hatchery fish for the BBQ. I am headed down on Sunday to fish with him. We have a few group trips to do. I do have 1 opening that I am offering $50 off on June 23rd.
We will be doing a few schools in July - check here for Calendar. (more dates to be added soon) These are designed to get newbies into the sport at an affordable price of $89 pp for a 5 hr float trip. With Huge Salmon returns and early river openings for salmon expected this year we will be doing a limited number of 4 hr float trips for Pink salmon from Sept. 1- 15 for $99 pp up to 3 anglers and the full day trips will start in Aug. and run until the end of Sept. We will be doing beach fishing, tidewater and river fishing for them, these are $150 pp, you can make your own group min of 3 up to 6 people or join a group. We also have a few guys looking for partners on some local guide trips. Inquire about dates if interested.
