The Kalama River is located in Cowlitz County in
Southwest Washington State and is one of the best
Spring Chinook and Summer Run Steelhead Rivers of
the Columbia River tributaries.  

Kalama, pronounced kuh-LAM-uh, means pretty maiden
or flaming torch, and is an uncommon girls name.

The Kalama River is located in Kalama, Washington
and is a short distance from the Portland International
Airport (PDX)

We target the Kalama River in Washington State
throughout the months of April, May and June for Spring
Salmon.

Spring Chinook, or Springers, average 12 to 15 pounds,
with some in the upper 20's.  Spring Chinook are one of
the most sought after table fare of the salmon species.  

We generally target summer run steelhead thoughout
the months of May, June and July.  These summer run
steelhead range from 5 to 10 pounds with many in the
upper teens.

With low pressure in the summer months, on the
Kalama River, these fish are very aggressive biters and
fun to catch.
