Cowlitz River Smelt Fishery A Bust

We'll just have to wait and see if there will be an additional day of smelt dipping allowed on the Cowlitz considering that there was no impact upon the population as virtually no smelt were caught. I hope that at least the WDFW actually does some test fishing prior to the opening as not to waste folks time and effort to go down for nothing. I am sure there are more than just a few ticked off fishermen.
