SW Washington fishing update

SW Washington- The Cowlitz continues to put out impressive numbers of coho salmon for both bank and boat anglers. Drifted eggs and spinners are taking fish on a regular basis but the quality of fish should begin to degrade in the coming week.

The Kalama and Lewis witnessed a good rise this week but should fall back into shape quickly. Action on both systems but particularly the Lewis, should remain impressive.

Klickitat anglers continue to put the hurt on coho near the mouth. Fish are readily taking jigs but eggs have proven effective as well. This fishery should hold up for a while longer given the downstream dam counts.
