SW Washington fishing udpate

The Cowlitz is still clicking along but spring Chinook are now starting to make up a more significant amount of the catch. The run is tracking well with about double the number returning to date to the hatchery as they had last year at this time. The overall forecast is for 25,000 returning adults, which may be a bit of a stretch but it seems the fishery is performing well and may be the best bet in town. Don't forget to bring your own rock however, it's crowded!

The Lewis and Kalama remain petty and not likely to change.

The Wind River and Drano Lake fisheries are nothing to write home about either. You can't expect much however, when Bonneville Dam is only passing about 1,000 adults per day. This fishery should really be turning on now but anglers won't get too excited until about 3,000 adults or better per day are passing the facility.
