April Fishing Report

Fishing the Cowlitz has been OK. Some days are slower then the others. We are seeing salmon and steelhead. The hatchery took in over 700 steelhead last week so we are seeing salmon and steelhead being caught at Barrier Dam. Mostly steelhead coming from Blue Creek. Boats are putting in at Barrier and Blue Creek. They are using a variety of things– sand shrimp, eggs, tuna bellies, corkies, jigs and blue fox spinners. The river is running at 5100 CFS right now.

Mayfield Lake is producing nice trout, they are catching silvers at Riffe Lake, catching trout of Swofford Pond. They are catching limits of trout out South County park in Toledo.

We have a nice variety of fish being caught in the area. So take a day and relax and go fishing.
