SW Washington fishing report

Southwest Washington - Most SW Washington streams are slowing for salmon and steelhead. The exceptions are the Cowlitz and North Fork of the Lewis Rivers. Coho and summer steelhead remain an option on the Cowlitz while coho anglers are tying into fair numbers of late run Lewis River fish. Fresh fish will be more difficult to come by as the week progresses.

SW Washington Fishing Update

Southwest Washington - Coho fishing on the Cowlitz River remains best below the I-5 Bridge while steelheading is best above the bridge. All chinook must now be released between Blue Creek and Mill Creek.

Coho fishing should also begin to peak on the Lewis River- particularly near the hatchery.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife approved the first fall clam digs this week. Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks and Kalaloch Beaches will open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (October 6 – 8) between the hours of noon and midnight. A forth night of digging was approved at Twin Harbors and Long Beach only on October 9th.
