My home rivers are closed now for the rest of winter steelhead season. They will open Memorial Day weekend for summer steelhead. I am transitioning to the Cowlitz river in my my jet sled with room for up to 4 fishermen, and the Kalama river in my driftboat with room for 2. I've been intermittently fishing the Kalama river over the last few weeks with average to good fishing. I will be fishing these rivers till mid- late March. Then I'll be fishing the lower Columbia River near Longview Washington for the famed Spring Chinook through the lower river closure...

It will be very limited report as the rivers here in Washington state have been at flood stage for nearly a month. Rivers just dropped into fishable state last week and things look to be starting off very well for the Wynoochee river. With a release of 172,000 smolts, plus 3 salt returns from the previous release year, the Wynoochee looks to be really productive this season. In the last 3 adventures, on the river, we've had 4-6 hookups each day. I have availability right now. This season will close on after Febuary 15th 2026, so there is limited time...

Fishing around the Olympic Peninsula has been steady as water conditions have been stable most of February and early March. Chilly mornings and blue skies make for great steelheading

    We really enjoyed our trip. The wrong salmon were biting so we weren’t able to keep any of them. So he moved to another spot and we were able to catch flounder. Thank you Captain Dale.
