About Washougal River
Washougal River is a river flowing through Washington, United States. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At Washougal River, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

Fishing Techniques
- For Chinook salmon
Vary your retrieve speed and depth until you find what the fish are responding to, as their preferences can change daily.
- For Steelhead
Adjust your presentation based on water clarity and current speed; lighter line and smaller lures are often more effective in clear, slow-moving water.
- For Smallmouth bass
Focus your fishing efforts around rocky structures, ledges, and areas with current, as smallmouth bass prefer these habitats.
