SW Washington fishing report
SW Washington – Broodstock steelhead programs will carry anglers through the spring months with spring chinook and summer steelhead soon on the way. The Cowlitz remains a fair option for steelhead but it’s inundated with smelt right now. Sturgeon fishing in the lower reaches may be good for those that are able to match the hatch with frozen smelt. Anglers are allowed to use smelt for bait but they can’t come from the population of fish that falls under the Endangered Species Act.
The Kalama has put out a
few steelhead recently with plugs becoming an effective method in the dropping
flows. Another sharp rise in river levels is expected in the SW district
however, putting boaters and bank anglers off for several more days.
