SW Washington fishing report

SW Washington – The Cowlitz remains the best bet for spring chinook and action is peaking now through the end of this month. The Kalama and Lewis are also fair bets for chinook but summer steelhead should begin making a stronger showing.

The Wind River and Drano Lake fisheries began to slow as fish continue to make their way upstream on the mainstem Columbia and Little White Salmon Rivers. Jacks made up a notable portion of the catch.

The Klickitat River is improving for spring chinook and could peak this week depending on river flows.
