Washington Fishing Update

Southwest Washington - The Cowlitz River remains only fair for spring Chinook with the North Fork of the Lewis remaining the best bet.

The Wind River is most productive in the canyon but public access is a problem for most. With dam passage slowing, success at the mouth of the Wind and Drano Lake is dropped off.

Summer steelhead are beginning to show in the Washougal River with a run of nearly 1,000 adults likely due back to the Skamania Hatchery. Bait will be allowed starting June 1st but anglers should check regulations for further regulations.
