In the past 4 days I have fished the west of Longview portions 3 of those 4. Stopping at the angler gates, and heading down the cliffs does have its challenges, especially after or during rain! Two of those times our group of fisherman have been stopped by F&W officers. Happy to see that they are all over this river, hats off to those officers who we dealt with, also good guys to chat with.
The water is clear and cold, and the fish are tempermental at times during heat. But with sight fishing and persistance I have been pleased with the cutthroat and rainbow. I've been fishing the highwood now steadily for three years, and I really enjoy that river.
Also, thanks for keeping this river clean. I am very happy with how it has been taken care of, for the most part. We will continue to remove more garbage than we take in, as it looks like we are not the only ones to do so, Thank You.
If I see anyone jerking around and messing up our river, they will have me to deal with!
