This fishery reminded my wife and I of a trout pond. Excited grown men going nutsos over the Silvers like a kid at a trout pond. Cast and set your hook for every little bump. TIP411 sure got my texts. I braved the masses and tried a spinner but was disgusted with this blatant kind of activity. What was funny to me was listening to some decked out fisherpeople with expensive gear justifying the fish 'bit" the corky. The wife and I felt sorry for guys who I consider fisherman using bait. We wont be back.

where were you fishing at? The cowlitz can get really hectic when all the other rivers are full of dull spawned out fish and it's getting bright chromers. All the folks end up congregating there. I've been there when it's not nearly so bad and it's a great fishery. I grew up out there, so I know what you mean.

We were at barrier dam in Salkum? The fish I seen were all decent. Too bad though that hardly any were taken with bait or a mans way of fishing. No need to feel sorry for me brinan253. I needed a laugh and I got one thanks.

Me and my wife went last year and it was just too crazy so we went to blue creek and fished below the boat ramp for ctthroat and it was great and some were very large saved the day for us . ><}}}}})">

Bittin corkies my backside. I watched this circus last weekend... Cast... jerk, jerk, jerk, jerk, jerk... Ohhhh! I got a bite.... ! then they pull it in by the gutts. Hey, I actually dont have a problem with keeping a fish that has been snagged if your going to eat it. Again, I say A fish... meaning ONE or perhaps two. Not snagging your limit everyday. Its not my thing,..and I wont participate in it.... but the fish are just going to go to waste anyway IMO. But dont sit there and tell me that your catching them when they bite your corkie.... A spade is a spade... call it what it is... Its snagging.....period.

Trout pond, that's funny. I know the fish are egg biters down below by the boat launch.
