Dont get discouraged fish already have stopped biting by 730am You need to get there earlier. Before day break glowballin. Once day break hits it slows. Till just before sunset. Atleast those are my best times. During the day I get a bite here a bite there but night time its on.

Yup, pooh's right. Before daylight or after sunset are the times I've had the most action and hookups. Mid-day seems to be the slowest time. Had quite a few skunks doin' the mid day thing down there. Glo-ballin' seems to be the ticket. Headed back down there soon!

I read the regs as the cow being closed one hour after sunset and 1 hour before sunrise starting the 1st of April?!?! Does anyone else read that? Keep trying, the fish are in the cowlitz but a majority of them are around blue creek. The morning bite seems to be the best.

I'm seeing a Night closure Apr 1 - Oct 31 from Mill Creek to Barrier dam. Thats Mill creek there by Barrier dam boat launch right?
If so it's just a small area with the night closure.
