SW Washington fishing report

SW Washington – The Cowlitz, Kalama and Lewis Rivers are peaking for spring chinook although the Cowlitz is clearly the best option. These fisheries should remain viable for another 2 weeks but the Cowlitz will remain a top bet with summer steelhead readily available too. Catch rates on the Wind River and Drano Lake remain good with a fish for every 3 rods on average. Adult salmon passage at Bonneville is slowing and will likely subsequently slow in these fisheries as well. Bonneville shad anglers are scoring good numbers in shallow water.
