Washington fishing report

Washington Fishing Update

SW Washington – The Lewis River is putting out some quality late run steelhead and the Cowlitz at Blue Creek and Olequa is also producing. A handful of spring chinook have been taken.

Wind River anglers will have to take note of new regulations beginning March 16th. For starters, the daily bag limit will be reduced to just one hatchery salmon. Drano Lake remains open for 2 salmon or steelhead or one of each.

It appears that the smelt run is over for the year. Overall results were poor, as expected.

Razor clam diggers will have opportunity to harvest during the next minus tide series. The following beaches will be open for razor clam digging between noon and midnight on these days:

Friday, March 16 – Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks
Saturday, March 17 – All beaches: Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks, Kalaloch
Sunday, March 18 – Long Beach, Twin Harbors and Kalaloch

Diggers should be aware of the recent time change. Some tide books don't reflect the change.
