SW Washington fishing report

SW Washington- District anglers remain somewhat stymied as options are limited with the sub-par returns we're witnessing. The Cowlitz and Lewis do have spring chinook available and summer steelhead numbers are starting to bolster but most anglers are losing interest fast with the low catch rates.

Also a reality, counts at Bonneville Dam are peaking, causing anglers to take a hard look at the Drano Lake and Wind River fisheries. Catches should peak this week and remain steady through mid-month.
