SW Washington fishing

SW Washington- With district tributaries fading for spring chinook, anglers will begin to focus more effort on the Columbia mainstem. A minus tide series occurs over the weekend, making lower Washington beaches a productive option for steelhead plunkers. Coon shrimp trailed behind spin-n-glos is a productive method this time of year. Sockeye salmon are also in full migration and open for retention through June 30th.

Summer steelhead should be returning to the Kalama, Cowlitz and Lewis Rivers in the coming weeks but catches remain fair at best.
