SW Washington fishing update

SW Washington- The Cowlitz traditionally out-shines most other Columbia River tributaries and great numbers of coho and some chinook are being taken from the system. Bank anglers were averaging a ½ of coho per rod, which is about as good as it gets for this fishery. Boat anglers were tallying 1½ fish per rod.

The Kalama and Lewis systems are also producing good coho catches and the Lewis has some fresh chinook available too.

Drano Lake is producing about a coho per rod and should continue for another few weeks at this pace. Further upstream, the mouth of the Klickitat is producing great for coho and some chinook.
