SW Washington fishing

NSIA’s 13^th Annual Banquet is this Saturday, December 1^st. We’ll get to revel in huge successes this year as NSIA’s participation in discussion have helped bring a significant change about how the states of Oregon and Washington manage the Columbia River. Join us in this fun-filled event by checking out details here: www.nsiafishing.org.

 

SW Washington- Winter steelhead are starting to show on some district streams with the Cowlitz likely to produce the best early run catches of the big 3. The Kalama, Lewis and Washougal are all winter steelhead options too but don’t receive the same hatchery returns as the Cowlitz.

 

The Lewis remains the best bet for late run chinook when the flows become fishable. Although many of the fish are dark, some fresh run fish should still be available through mid-month.

 

Check the WDF&W web site for razor clam openings; they are scheduled through December 1^st.
