SW Washington Fishing Report

SW Washington - Duck hunter Brandon McGavran reported hordes of harbor seals in the mainstem Columbia between Goble and the mouth of the Cowlitz on Tuesday. Seagulls accompanied the seals indicating the smelt run is on its way to the Cowlitz. The first day of dipping starts on February 6th.

Steelhead are available in the Cowlitz, Kalama and Lewis Rivers but action is only fair. The Kalama and Lewis systems should produce the best in the coming weeks but a lull in activity is common for this time of year.
