SW Washington fishing

SW Washington – District rivers are running high from melting snow pack but good numbers of steelhead are present on the Cowlitz and North Fork of the Lewis. Backtrollers are targeting steelhead along the river edges where softer currents are more likely to hold migrating adults. The daily steelhead limit on the Cowlitz and North Fork Lewis raised to 3 fish/angler last month.

Salmon fishing remains poor on most SW Washington streams and is closed to the taking of salmon on many so check regulations before venturing out.
