SW Washington fishing report

SW Washington- Cowlitz River steelheaders are still struggling for consistent returns of summer steelhead but action should be picking up for chinook, if the run actually materializes this fall.

Wild steelhead will continue to make up the bulk of the recreational catch in the Wind River fishery for just another few weeks.

High temperatures still have the Klickitat River producing poorly with no relief in sight; turbid waters from glacial siltation is to blame.
