SW Washington fishing report

SW Washington – The Cowlitz remains the best option for spring chinook although catches have only been fair. Steelhead should start to make a fair showing in the coming weeks.

Due to poor returns, the Lewis and Kalama Rivers are now closed to the taking of spring chinook. These systems remain open for steelhead however, action likely won’t improve for several more weeks.

The Klickitat River should produce some chinook and steelhead over the next several weeks. Action is fair now but should improve, especially for steelhead, later into June.
