SW Washington fishing report

SW Washington – Despite an increase in bag limits, the late run coho to the area streams continue to disappoint anglers. Chinook are still showing in the catches but very few anglers are participating in the catch and release fishing.

Anglers used to be able to rely on November steelhead on the Cowlitz but hatchery plants have been cut back and returns are poor. It will be a while before these streams produce any good numbers of retainable fish again.

The Klickitat River remains one of the better options for late run coho.
