SW Washington fishing report

SW Washington- Most anglers remain focused on mainstem Columbia chinook with the Cowlitz a prime target for anchor fishers. The Cowlitz itself will have chinook nose into the lower reaches as salmon escape the warm Columbia waters on their way upstream. The mouth of the Lewis is also a favorite destination for anglers to target chinook and coho.

With Bonneville Dam passing good numbers of steelhead and salmon, Drano Lake anglers are finding good success for both species. Action will only get better near these tributaries although warm water temperatures often slow catches.
