2016 Cowlitz River Spring Chinook Salmon Forecast

2016 Cowlitz River Spring Chinook Salmon Forecast is predicted return of 25,000 Spring Chinook Salmon. This will be one of the largest Cowlitz River Spring Chinook Salmon returns since the 70s. If this forecast holds up, I will be doing a lot of Cowlitz River Guided Spring Chinook Salmon Fishing trips this year.

2016 Columbia River Spring Chinook Salmon Forecast

Guided trips on the Cowlitz River are a more hands on fishery than that of the Guided Columbia River Spring Chinook Salmon Fishing Trips I do. Columbia River Guided Spring Chinook Salmon Trips are usually fished with a Spring Chinook Salmon Fishing Technique called trolling. Trolling is a very popular Spring Chinook Salmon Technique where a person lets their line out trying to get he or her bait close to bottom, while the boat is moving at a certain speed.

Guided Salmon Fishing Trips on the Cowlitz River for Spring Chinook Salmon is more hands on Spring Chinook Fishing Technique, you are able to hold your rod when Hover Fishing Eggs in the Cowlitz River or we could also be Back Bouncing Eggs. Both of these Cowlitz River Spring Chinook Salmon Fishing Techniques are much different than the Columbia River Spring Chinook Techniques’.

I will start Guided Trips for Spring Chinook Salmon on the Cowlitz River when the Columbia River closes for retention. I love Drano Lake Spring Chinook Salmon Fishing, but Drano Lake Spring Chinook return this year is predicted to be 8,000 less than last year. 2015 Drano Lake Spring Chinook return was 17,600 (although the predicted run was only to be a return of 7,800 Spring Chinook, and the actual run was nearly 10k more than predicted.).

With the 2016 Cowlitz River Spring Chinook Salmon Forecast to be such a great return, I will be trying to capitalize on that great forecast and also trying to catch early Cowlitz River Summer Steelhead as well. I will transition into Guided Summer Steelhead Fishing Trips on the Cowlitz River once Spring Chinook Salmon has slowed down and Guided Summer Chinook Salmon Fishing Trips are no longer fishing well.
