SW Washington fishing report

SW Washington – Most effort is taking place near the mouths of district tributaries. Cooler temperatures are drawing in a mixed bag of chinook, coho and steelhead. Trollers near the mouth of the Cowlitz are doing well, waiting for the tide to ebb to sit on anchor for the wobbler show.

Heavy restrictions will be in place for most rivers with coho the primary allowable focus through October.

Drano Lake anglers are scoring excellent catches of steelhead with an occasional chinook in the catch.

The Klickitat River is picking up for chinook and some steelhead. Coho catches should begin to increase in the coming weeks.
