SW Washington fishing report for 3/28/14

SW Washington- The Cowlitz produced excellent results for steelhead over the weekend. With late season steelhead and the beginning of the summer run underway, fishing should remain productive for the next few weeks. Spring chinook are starting to show although peak season is still a few weeks away.

The Lewis and Kalama systems remain an option for steelheaders but spring chinook anglers will be out of luck as the season remains closed here until further notice.

Chinook counts are rapidly rising at Bonneville Dam but Wind and Drano Lake trollers still won't see peak season catches for several more weeks. Ambitious anglers can take advantage of low crowds and catchable numbers in the coming weeks however.
