SW Washington fishing

 

SW Washington- The Cowlitz River is the best early season bet for fair sized winter steelhead. The trout hatchery is putting out fair catches although success has been reported river-wide.

 

The Lewis, Kalama and Washougal Rivers are also steelhead favorites but catches are not expected to be great as witnessed in recent years. Fresh chinook remain an option on the Lewis but catches are slowing for the year.

 

Razor clam digs are scheduled throughout the week along SW coastal beaches. Check the WDF&W website for details.
