SW Washington Fishing Update

SW Washington – The Cowlitz, primarily around the mouth, is a target for many anglers seeking late run coho and the occasional chinook. Catches have been fair and with a recent upgrade in the early season coho numbers, catches are likely to be better than first anticipated.

October is actually a better month for district anglers targeting coho as many of the later returning fish are destined for the Lewis and Cowlitz systems.

The Lewis is also an option for chinook and coho although many of the chinook are turning dark.

The mouth of the Klickitat should be a good option for chinook and coho anglers although catches were light there over the weekend.
