Steel head

Has anyone had any luck for steelhead at the mouth of the following: Cowlitz, Kalama, or Lewis? Going out fishing this weekend and wondering how to prepare tackle wise.

We've landed some farther upriver in the Vancouver, Camas/Washougal area using U-20's and Flash & Glo's.
Looking at the counts at Bonny...the numbers are increasing.

Either lure I mentioned, when fished thru September will get
you steelies AND salmon.

It's time.

In the past have hit several salmon on glo's but all jacks I will be using one tomorrow.

Thanks a lot for the information I will let you know how I did.

If you see a boat called Mr. Grumpy come by and say hi.

Kevin, there are some fish in the Cowlitz and Kalama Rivers, but not many. Some have been doing okay, but for most of us including myself it has been really slow.

PM me if you want any details, take care, Fred

You caught how many? · 07-09-2005, 08:12 PM

The Flame Orange U20 works very well.
