Columbia River fishing report for July 9th – 16th

Hi everybody,

Wow! That’s all I can say about the steelhead fishing for the last week or so! The weather has been warm and the steelhead have been plentiful! This is a great time of year to get out and enjoy what southwest Washington has to offer. For the past week, July 13 – 19 catching steelhead has been no problem, Catching 12 to 20 plus fish a trip is what any Columbia River fishing guide loves about this time of year. Good fishing should remain for quite some time, fortunately followed by some more great fishing for the up coming Fall Chinook.

Columbia River fishing report for July 8th – 15th

Hi everybody,

Fishing on the Columbia River has been fantastic this past week! The Columbia has been the main focus for most fishing guides in our area because of the consistency of good fishing. We have been catching them anchored up using spin n glo lures and coon shrimp. Also, flat fish and Yakima Bait mag lip lures have been catching them well too. It’s only going to get better on the Lewis as well in the coming 3 weeks or so. Don’t miss out on these hot fighting steelhead on the Lewis and Columbia Rivers this month!

Columbia River fishing report for July 1st -7th

Hi everybody,

The first week of July has been very good fishing for summer steelhead on the Lewis River and Columbia River and should remain this way for at least a month. We have been catching them side drifting with salmon eggs and bait diving with coon shrimp on the Lewis River for the last week or so and been getting 5-10 steelhead a day. The Columbia River is also starting to get a good amount of steelhead as well. With a large forecast of steelhead this year, things are going to pick up fast out there and it will be red hot within the next couple of weeks.
