The water
Cowlitz River (Castle Rock) is a tailwater in Washington, fished for chinook salmon, coho salmon, summer steelhead, winter steelhead, cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, whitefish, white sturgeon, green sturgeon, eulachon. On free-flowing water the trajectory is the story: falling and clearing after a bump is the window, rising water pushes fish to the banks and brings colour.
