Springer Fishing The Cowlitz River Down By The Confluence Of The Toutle River

The sandy island at the confluence of the Cowlitz River and the Toutle River is something most people don't get to see. In some areas the sand island is fluid, almost floating between the current of both rivers. It is so wet and thick in some spots it is like standing in quick sand on a moving island of sand.
The weather was beautiful so I ventured down south to explore an area of the river I have not seen in many years. The scenery is gorgeous and this segment of river that stretches for a a few miles is very quiet with only a few houses spread out along its winding banks. I also ran into another KZbinr who fishes this area frequently. While #fishing for #chinook and #steelheadfishing I tend to ramble about everything that pops into my head. My dad always told me I talk to hear my lips flap. He may have been right.
On the island while eating lunch a 6' #sturgeon jumped clean out of the water in the background. I didn't learn until I was editing the video that camera #2 was not turned on.

It's really nice when there are more fish. Right now there are thousands of California Sealions at the mouth eating like It's an all you can eat buffet.

You are a skilled driver in fast moving water. I too carry. I have ran into a few sketchy situations on the river and was able to calm the situation down before it went too far by acknowledging I am carrying. You are right, a police officer is usually 20 min or more a way. By then to late.

It’s sad that a lot of us feel like we need to carry everywhere we go now, including to the river just to fish. But it’s our new reality. Hopefully the fishing picks up
