There was an EPIC BATTLE between man and fish. Man was triumphant.
I decided to hit the early mid-morning bite before it got too hot but the Sun beat down on me over the tree tops. That meant a black wooly bugger flyfishing fly was on the menu. This time the Cowlitz River Steelhead lost an EPIC battle with a 14ft #9 Spey Rod and a persistent angler.

I can see why the neighbor piled the rocks on that spot. That spot looks like a solid high spot on the floor not far below the waters surface. Probably not easily seen from a drift boat or any boat as far as that goes. So him piling the rocks on there was to probably warn those in boats of that spot.

Two days later and still laughing at you kicking over your neighbor's creation! LOL!!!!

I would have left it alone had he not built it right in front of my place. It was even freaking my dog out every time he looked out the window. :-)

Just wondering, I thought all wild steelhead are to be released? that fish had an adipose fin

@Northwestfishingfanatics 9 месяцев назад

If that fish wasn't clipped it would have been released. Thanks for watching.

After seeing what the "Monuments" were built upon I would speculate that they were to serve as a visual warning of those massive rock sl;abs that absolutely destroy a Sled coming through fast with an operator new to the river. Fish of a thousand casts, beautiful fish.

Keep summer wild steelhead from the Cowlitz river?

@Northwestfishingfanatics 10 месяцев назад

Not as far as I know why?

@jonathanhines6746 Год назад

Nice Rod 😃.Waking stick, great Idea for bank fishing and wading out into the water.

@Northwestfishingfanatics Год назад

I have fallen too many times to count. Had a couple steelies make me slip off rocks on the strike.

Great video all around, love the tension build up felt like a movie. We see the effort and time put in to your editing

@Northwestfishingfanatics Год назад

Thanks so much! I appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed it.

Im no expert but i feel like those rocks make it easier to avoid the larger rocks when the river comes up

@Northwestfishingfanatics Год назад

I'm no expert either but I know the river will topple those when it hits about 5000cfs anyway. Trust me, it's not smart to erect obstacles in area boats travel. thanks for watching. Appreciate it.

@Northwestfishingfanatics Год назад

Any time. Got a ton of it. 😆

Add it. Do it. :-)

How do you know the hatchery is the reason for the brown algae? Do you have a source or is it speculation they are responsible for killing off or reducing other river species. I’m truly curious because of the anti hatchery folks hear and see this it won’t be good for the cowlitz river fishing.

@Northwestfishingfanatics Год назад

I've watched the algae growth and change in river conditions and habitat for over 50 years. I'm not anti-hatchery by no means. I think they should focus on more output and less on so called "wild" fish which are long gone already. By the way, it really isn't brown algae as much as it is sediment/detritus, from the hatchery.
