Ya, there was a small late run of silvers that came into the NF of the Lewis River.
Fished all day last week and got one nice 12 pound hen silver.
Theres very few fish being bonked. Theres a lot of dark fish. More steelhead are being bonked then salmon.
Steelhead are starting to come in.
GO GET THEM!!

From our weekly report:

"Lewis River - Some hatchery coho are being caught. Through November 13, nearly 1,300 late stock hatchery adult coho had returned to the facilities. This compares to 13,200 fish counted through the same time last year. Ten hatchery winter steelhead had been counted at Merwin Dam through November 13."

I went down to the boat launch tonight, saw a few fish rolling, pretty dark. Knowing how the FishGuy produces definetely not enough fish in the river for you to put one in the boat. But I know you do have a nack for catching those darkies..... WHACK!

There may be darkies in there but whats not to say that there is no bright fish in there.

There is no bright fish in the Lewis River system.
