1-11-2010 Overall Fishing Conditions: Fishing is as always this time of year, absolutely awesome! If you are a winter Steelhead fisherman you know what I mean. Every river is loaded, and when in shape kicking out some real nice fish. Check your river levels and if it's in shape, ...get on it! Also, we have been approved as an Affiliate to the following store. Click on the link and check it out. I think they have a lot of good stuff to choose from. Where to fish in Washington I drove I-5 today passing the Lewis, Kalama, Elochoman, and Cowlitz. They all seem to be running high, but they did seem to have some color to them. The Cowlitz being the exception running high and brown. Not sure about the upper stretches where the action seems to be. The Kalama looked good to me. I did see a couple drift boat trailers parked so I know it's getting some attention. Fishing in Oregon Oregon rivers are hot! The Wilson has been running high for days now and looks to be on the rise again tonight. Once this river drops into shape I look for the fishing to be phenomenal. While I wait for that I have been fishing the North Fork Nehalem. Along with everybody else. It's crowded, but a lot of room to fish therefore making it worth while. Not to mention it's peak season on this river and the Steelhead are stacking up by the hundreds. The Nestucca I've heard is fishing well, again though when the conditions are right. The Sandy river is looking great and actually got off to an early start this year. The Clackamas along with Eagle Creek is fishing good too. So many river, so little time. What a problem to have. Trout Fishing No info on trout at this time as everyone is focused on Steelhead. What to use for Bait All the standard basics are catching fish. I hope you find this information helpful. Please check back as things are always changing. If you have anything you would like to see, or wish to contact me, you can do so at
