Cowlitz River - Washington

 
 This past fall I fished for a couple days on the Cowlitz river in Western Washington State. I was alot of fun. There were plenty of gear guys fishing and I had to rotate through the the Blue Creek Run with other fly anglers, but I landed a ridiculous number of nice hatchery Sea Run Cutts in the 15" plus range on my 6 weight spey. In the first day of hard fishing. I think I landed around 20 of these fish.

 

I also landed a nice steelhead on that first day on the Cowlitz. She ate a #8 brown and black Matuka. Really a great fish on the small rod. I really liked the Cowlitz.
