Lewis River Fishing: Salmon & Steelhead on Your Doorstep

The Lewis River at the estate is one of the most accessible prime fishing locations in Southwest Washington. The river hosts significant runs of Chinook salmon, coho salmon, and steelhead — and guests can access the water directly from the estate without any additional travel.

🎣 Chinook (King) Salmon

Spring and fall Chinook runs on the Lewis River make it one of the premier salmon fisheries in Southwest Washington. The Lewis River is a tributary of the Columbia and regularly sees productive salmon seasons.

🎣 Coho Salmon

Fall coho runs add another dimension to Lewis River fishing. Coho are aggressive and exciting to catch — a favorite target for sport anglers in the Pacific Northwest.

🎣 Steelhead

Winter and summer steelhead runs on the Lewis River provide some of the best trout fishing in Washington State. Steelhead are prized for their strength and the challenge they present to anglers.
