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.
