Here is a beautiful Cowlitz River Spring Chinook. This is one of the lucky fisherman this season. The Spring Chinook returns are very low this year, you had to work hard for very few fish.

We are looking forward to are next fishery, Summer Chinook and Summer Steelhead combo, on the Skykomish River the first half of June and the Columbia River the second half of June. These should be very good fisheries this year, the projection are good for both.
