Washington Fishing Update

Southwest Washington - SW Washington streams remain challenging to fish due to high water conditions. Steelhead have become available on the Cowlitz Rivers but success is limited. Anglers should focus efforts along river banks using bright colored lures and scented baits. The Cowlitz will remain the best bet but more high water is forecasted through the holiday weekend.

The Grays River opened to fishing for hatchery steelhead on November 15th from the mouth to the Highway 4 bridge.

But here's the best thing going in SW Washington! Lamiglas will hold its first ever factory clearance sale on Saturday December, 9th here at Lamiglas. We will have over 3000 rods which include closeouts, obsolete models and blems. Lots to choose from. We will also have rod blanks and components for the custom rod builder. I wanted to personally invite all Ifisher's to come on by our factory at 1400 Atlantic Ave. in Woodland, Washington for this huge event. We will also have Jack Glass, Dave Vedder and Carmen McDonald on hand to talk about different fishing techniques. Hours are 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Saturday, December 9th 2006. See you there

Washington Fishing Update

Southwest Washington - Along with many NW Oregon streams, Washington's best options will be put on hold until flows subside. The Cowlitz and Lewis Rivers were an anglers best options until the storm front hit and may not fish again until the middle of next week. Late run coho should still be available when rivers clear.

Washington steelheaders still have options however as Ringold/Hanford Reach steelhead are falling at a rate of one every 4 hours for boaters during the week. Weekday bank anglers are taking a steelhead every 6 hours in the area.
