Cowlitz River. The Mak, a beer, and fishing from the back yard. All at the same time. Can't wait

Post by: sliding_billy on May 17, 2013, 08:06:45 AM: Sweet! I still have my land/house in PA (funny how I moved to what everyone thinks is country by leaving real country). The land/lake behind it looks a lot like those pics.

I'll be second. I can even put them back after catching them if you like!

Good for you - looks like a beautiful site!

Lets do it. Should be done in Sept maybe Oct. Just in time for Silvers. Heard the silver run should be a good one this year also. :) Keeping my fingers crossed. Guy next door had 100+ sturgeon on last year in 2 weeks.

Chinook, Steelhead, Silvers, sturgeon, and sea run Cuts. Wish it was down now. But will be spending a lot of time camped out there this summer.

Post by: deestafford on May 18, 2013, 11:09:57 AM: The thing I like is somebody who can really appreciate it is going to live there.

As to the NW Gathering...Do it!! The one we have had for the last two years on Clarks Hill Lake outside of Augusta, GA has been a lot of fun. This year's held the last week and weekend of September looks to be even better.

Post by: fishingbouchman on September 10, 2013, 07:01:30 AM: You asked for pictures so here is the new place. Hope to be done and sign papers on Oct 4th. But I want to be in now because the salmon are running now. Hard working on the house when you hear boats running and fish jumping. Guess they will still be around in October.

The Mak's new home overlooking the river. and hopefully a few other additions later. Would love a pizza oven and maybe something that burns charcoal.

Hit the river one day with the wife to see if we could catch a fish. Caught a little harvest trout but that was it.
