	FWDP -- Cowlitz Tribe
		Cowlitz is the name for the Indian nation and the river drainage which is the aboriginal home of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe located in the interior southwest of what is now the State of Washington.
		The main emphasis of Cowlitz leaders was to establish a permanent territory for the benefit and use of members and to establish mutual recognition between the United States and the Cowlitz.
		Cowlitz Chief Atwin Stockum led his nation into what became generations of legal and political disputes with the United States when in 1906 he sued the United States government for the return of several parcels of land.

	American Whitewater - NWRI - Cowlitz 2. Cispus River to Barrier Dam
		The Cowlitz was arguably one of Western Washington's best river trips prior to construction of three dams that flooded scenic canyon sections that were first explored for their whitewater recreation potential by Wolf Bauer and members of the Washington Foldboat Club (now Washington Kayak Club) as early as the mid-1950's.
		During the legal battle over the construction of the first dam on the river in 1956, Mary Kiona, a 93 year-old Native American, testified that she had traveled down the river by canoe and that it was used for navigation.
		Construction of the Cowlitz Falls project, which was completed in 1994 by Lewis County PUD, eliminated whitewater recreation on this section when Cowlitz Falls was dynamited and a 140 foot high dam was constructed in its place.

	Cowlitz River Missiles, Lance Fisher, The Fish Sniffer Online
		I pulled over to the side of the river, dropped my anchor and sat down for a few minutes to get my leader changed out, have something cold to drink and laugh a little more about the borderline clinical behavior that this fish had exhibited.
		The Cowlitz River is the premier summer steelhead river in the Northwest and it's really no surprise.
		The river itself is tailored to this type of fishing and one visit and you'll see why.

	Steelhead fishing in the large rivers of oregon, washington, idaho
		Using bait and smaller river techniques is not as effective in the big rivers as it is in the smaller rivers.
		It is a very natural presentation and when the steelhead picks up the bait because of the boat moving downstream and the fish pointing upstream the strikes are quite hard, this makes it much easier for the beginning steelhead fisherman to tell the bite.
		These "B" run fish and the Cowlitz river Skamania stock fish are the largest of the steelhead that return to these rivers and can go as large as 30 lbs with 20 lb fish fairly common.

		Rivers throughout history have given rise to civilizations, so it is not surprising that Cowlitz County's rivers have lured settlers and industries.
		But each of these rivers had its own appeal, its own convenience or difficulty of settlement, its own methods of logging or fishing, its own vessels and bridges, and even its own scenery; each thus offered its own unique possibilities to the people who came here.
