SW Washington fishing report

SW Washington- The Cowlitz remains a top prospect for salmon and steelhead and spring chinook catches are beginning to peak despite a low return predicted. Summer steelhead should begin entering in better numbers too.

The Wind River and Drano Lake fisheries are underway but passage at Bonneville remains modest. Once passage reaches 1,000 fish per day, the action should drastically improve, especially with the absence of lower river sport effort.

District lakes are receiving a good plant of trout. Check the WDF&W web site for best opportunities.
