SW WA Fishing

 

SW Washington- The Cowlitz and Lewis Rivers remain top options for district anglers with chinook making the strongest showing although coho are not far behind.

 

Fair numbers of sturgeon are below Bonneville Dam but consumptive opportunity doesn’t open up again for another few weeks.

 

Columbia River Gorge anglers are enjoying a productive period, targeting chinook at the tributary mouths hovering with small clusters of eggs. Jigs can also be effective fished here but are more likely to take coho when they start showing in the coming weeks.
