Fishing report for SW Washington

SW Washington - Most district streams are producing a mix of coho, chinook and steelhead. Coho numbers should continue to build into October with brighter fish more likely to bite offerings. Chinook regulations are more complicated this season so check local listings before heading out.

The Toutle already has coho present although fishable numbers will build later into this month.

Drano Lake anglers should find larger steelhead in their catches. Idaho's "B" run fish are peaking at the Bonneville facility. The mouth of the Klickitat should begin to produce some fair catches of chinook and an early coho.

Fishing report for SW Washington

SW Washington - Anglers should find ramped up opportunities on many district streams with chinook and coho beginning to show in stronger numbers this week.

The generous 6 adult coho bag limit may be a bit over-ambitious but anglers working the Lewis, Cowlitz, Kalama and Washougal Rivers do have a chance for some good fishing with spinners and small clusters of eggs a strong option.

Drano Lake anglers should find their chances for a fall chinook increasing with big numbers crossing Bonneville. This system, like many others in the district, now requires the release of all non fin-clipped chinook.
