Here's what I just read from Noel Johnson over at LewisRiver.com:

"Lewis River: Closed for spring chinook, open for steelhead. Light effort and catch. Through June 8, a total of 1,022 hatchery adults had been collected for broodstock. The goal is 1,300 fish."

I just read some mixed reviews on the N. Fork over at lewisriver.com. From what I can tell the fishing isn't great but if you know the river you will probably do okay. I'll post anything else I hear.

Wow, these reports are really old. We need some new info. Here's what I've got. I think this fall Chinook are in. I hear the boats running up and down the river lately. Usually that's a good sign. I haven't heard much else but I'll report here when I do.

I haven't had a chance to run down to the Lewis lately. I'll ask around and see how it's going. Or, better, I'll have a look myself!

No progress but I will check it out soon. Along those line, my neighbor showed me footage of a 30 foot waterfall tucked away back on the Kalama River side of the hill.

I'm thinking about getting a boat soon. Does anyone have advice about boating on the Lewis? I have no experience on rivers. Specifically, is the Lewis generally considered a dangerous river to learn to boat on?

Fished yesterday about 4 miles up from downtown Woodland on the south side of the river. I didn't have any luck but I saw a guy with a jack chinook. Very nice. The water is a lot higher than it was a month ago.

Fished above Swift Lake. Caught two 15 1/2 inch trout. Can you guess what streatch I was in? Okay, it was near Eagle Cliff bridge. I couldn't help looking over my shoulder wondering if Mt. St. Helens was going to blow.
