The highwood is definitely not a secret, if you have a couple of hours head out west of high river, or even west of longview and it can be delightful, and rewarding!

If not just stick to the bow, looks like the levels are dropping now, so should be able to find lots of fish!

It is a clear, fast moving, freestone stream with deep pools that is set in a deep rocky canyon. The highwood river west of longview is a stunning place.
