There are quite a few steelhead in the river but most are spawning and not too interested in lures/bait. There are just a few Chinook but it is still too early to get excited about them. The barbless hook rule goes into effect tomorrow for the Columbia and all its tributaries including the North and East Fork Lewis.

Swift Report.. - 11:57 p.m. 4/28/2013

We fished Swift today...saw a fair nymber of fishermen...We limited in about an hour and a half...10 trout..smallest was 12 inches...biggest was 16 inches...caught with salmon eggs or power bait fished on the bottom...the boomsticks do a nice job of keeping debris out of the middle portion of the reservoir...

Barbless - 12:50 a.m. 4/26/2013

Yes the regulations for 2013-2014 say that you need barbless hooks on the Lewis when fishing for salmon or steelhead. Ryan - Ridgefield, Wa Dobes8@yahoo.com

Swift - 4:09 a.m. 4/25/2013

Swift Reservoir, 4,500 acres on the upper North Fork of the Lewis River, has gotten 53,000 catchable-size rainbow trout. Swift’s power canal gets another 8,000 rainbow. New rules adopted by the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission recently shifted Swift’s opener to the first Saturday in June. However, those rules were predicated the assumption the spring chinook, coho and winter steelhead reintroduction efforts would have progressed to a point where significant numbers of downstream migrants would be passing through Swift Reservoir in May. Due to delays in adult salmon and steelhead reintroduction into the upper North Lewis River, production of young fish is just getting under way. “There’s no need to close the reservoir in May of this year,’’ said John Weinheimer of Carson, district fish biologist for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. “The fishery can proceed on the traditional opening date.’’ Landlocked salmon rules will begin on Saturday. That means all salmon longer than 15 inches must be released and salmon count toward the daily limit of five trout. Swift has quite a few landlocked coho Noel Johnson - Woodkand, WA Noel@lewisriver.com http://www.lewisriver.com

sturgeon bait - 7:13 a.m. 4/22/2013

where can you find fresh or newer smelt? the other day went sturgeon fishind and use smelt for bait and no luck. but everyone else were using smelt were catching fish around me. I was using smelt from D@G bait company and not one bite. I was wondering if I should get them from Winco Fooods or Crowes bait shop in Portland? ryan - vancouver,wa ryanlown1972 @yahoo

Trout biting in Woodland's Horse Shoe Lake - 6:06 a.m. 4/22/2013

Trout are biting quite well in Horse Shoe Lake. http://www.lewisriver.com/horseshoe.html Noel Johnson - Woodland, WA Noel@lewisriver.com http://www.lewisriver.com/horseshoe.html

trout - 6:02 a.m. 4/22/2013

It is strictly catch and release only for trout on the Lewis, besides hatchery seagoing ”trout” (steelhead) 20 in. or more. I would definitely suggest reading the regulation book before fishing on any river. Kennen - lc,wa kennenricardo@gmail.com
