First time steelhead fishing and first time at the Cowlitz, fished the blue creek below the dam and used corky and yarn. 0900 that I hooked a good size hatchery steelie 9 lb plus or minus . put up a great fight, will certainly go back again when I get a day off. also met some really nice and friendly folks. helped me get the right color combination.

@ scheindogg: orange corky with black yarn or reverse combo, a couple of guys next to me caught two good size and another guy limited out. go before 7 or 8 in the am, seems like the steelies are more active during the day when I was there. it slowed down significantly at 10:30.

hope this info helps. Fish on
