SW Washington fishing report

SW Washington- The mouth of the Cowlitz continues to produce good catches of steelhead and chinook are starting to show in earnest. Chinook will soon dominate the catch and given the magnitude of the run this year, action should be excellent.

The Cowlitz River itself is producing fair catches of steelhead.

Trollers at Drano Lake are taking both steelhead and chinook with less than half of the steelhead of hatchery origin. Action for chinook will only get better as Bonneville Dam counts increase. Chinook have already been caught in the Hanford Reach.
