SW Washington fishing report

SW Washington - District rivers remain void of any big numbers of steelhead but broodstock fish should become available in the coming weeks. The Kalama holds the most promise.

Spring chinook should begin to arrive in the coming weeks with catches peaking in mid-April. The Cowlitz and Lewis Rivers will be the best options this season.

Persistent smelt dippers did take some fish on the Cowlitz last weekend. Limits were hard to come by but dippers willing to invest in several hours of effort did produce fair results.
