SW Washington fishing report

SW Washington- With early returns on most systems clearly depressed, the Cowlitz will remain the best option until later returning wild and broodstock fish return later in January through March. The Cowlitz has remained high for much of the winter season so large baits and scented lures will produce the best results.
