Lewis River and Kalama River Steelhead and salmon

Post by Dillpepsi123 » Sun Oct 05, 2008 8:27 pm

Does anyone have some tips to give me about steelhead and salmon fishing in the Lewis and Kalama rivers?

Like which corkies work the best for drift fishing?

Or just what is working?

Thanks guys....

I have read that large Kwikfish wrapped with herring or Vibrax in brass or silver Number 4 size works well. Also wiggle warts in Met Red, Flame, Red , Silver, Black Bart, Rodman, and M. Jackson. Using small corkies in red colors with 1 in of red yarn also works. Some people use red dyed prawns also. If you have any x-4 flatfish in silver , flame red, green hornet, or green weenie may work for you. BTW Herring attached to a kwikfish, flatfish, or any large lures work best in deep pools rather than long drifts. Good luck to you, I'm sure you will get some more ideas in the next few days. As for Steelhead fishing I would assume that any set-up used for steelhead on any other river would work here.Again...Good luck, Steve

Fly Fishing is the art of attaching a fake bug to a line and relying on the appropriate manipulation of the rod to deceive the fish into eating a sharp steel hook covered with feathers and fur.
