SW Washington fishing update

SW Washington- Spring chinook catches still outnumber steelhead but catch rates are starting to wane. The Cowlitz remains a highlight with the Kalama and Lewis still closed and not likely to meet hatchery escapement goals.

The Wind and Drano Lake fisheries are also starting to slow but anglers working the bank near Bonneville Dam are producing good results still.

Shad fishing from shore should pick up dramatically in this week. It's a perfect fishery to introduce kids to.
