The lower Cowlitz river, below the Toutle river, is currently fishing well for fall chinook salmon and summer steelhead, although chinook retention is, at the time of this report, not allowed. The majority of our bites have been coming on free-drifted or ‘dragged’ baits through the deeper holes, as these are the places you’ll typically find holding salmon from the Toutle down to the Lexington Bridge. No signs of Coho yet, but its still a bit early and I’d expect them to start showing in earnest by the third to fourth week of September.
