This is what I need to KNow, I know the springers are comming in thick now but I want to know where a great camping spot for the family to fish and catch fish is. Im a decent fisherman and knows what the hell im doing out there. I have a custom made alumnium boat with a 35 horse jet and usally take it to the cow. but I need to know where a good camp sites are. and where the fish are at the end of the month, info will help please.

Do you won't to fish the cow.

I am planning on camping at the Cowlitz in early may and floating down from there a few days in a row. Unless you want to go to the Wind, there is no better spot to catch the early springers and have a free capming spot in a nice area

If you want free camping on the cow then blue cr. is the spot. Barrier dam is $25.00 a nite for the trailers that they rent.I don't know how much it is to tent camp there. because I live 20 min from there.Blue cr. only has bathrooms bring your own firewood.Lake Mayfield has camping its about 15 min.east of the Barrier Dam.
