SW Washington fishing report

SW Washington- March 15th marked the closure of several tributaries in the district but mainstem rivers largely remain open for late season steelhead. The Cowlitz remains a top bet but the Kalama and Lewis may be options as well.

Spring chinook have been taken in the Cowlitz but consistent catches are still weeks away.

Bank anglers working beaches downstream of Vancouver will start to realize some results plunking spin-n-glos and herring from the bank. High flows push upriver migrating fish close to the beach, giving bank anglers a good opportunity to catch them.
