SW Washington Fishing Report

SW Washington - District streams are still producing some catches of steelhead with the Cowlitz the primary target for the most serious anglers. Fish are beginning to reach the spawning stage but silver sided fish may still cut orange.

The Kalama and Lewis Rivers are also options but returns remain subdued and likely won't pick up again until later returning broodstock and wild fish enter later in the winter. Sub-par results are likely for this season given the relatively poor performance of the early run on these systems.

Check the WDF&W web site for clam digging opportunities over the New Year's weekend. Excellent tides should provide good opportunity for those willing to brave big surf.
