Current Fishing Weather
Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

Fishing Overview Woodland
Woodland, Washington fishing revolves around the Lewis River, its tributaries, and convenient access to the Columbia River. This corner of southwest Washington gives anglers a mix of big-river salmon, steelhead and sturgeon, plus more relaxed trout and warmwater fishing in small lakes and ponds scattered around town.
Seasonal patterns on the Lewis River drive much of the action. Spring and fall see Chinook and coho salmon pushing upriver; focus on travel lanes below structure, current seams, and the mouths of side channels. Drift cured salmon eggs or sand shrimp on sliding sinker rigs, or run small plugs and spinners just off bottom when flows allow. Winter through early spring is prime time for steelhead. Target deeper holding slots with jigs under floats, pink or white soft beads, and 3–4 inch soft plastics. In summer, downsized presentations, lighter leaders, and early-morning starts are critical in clear, low water.
The nearby Columbia River adds big-fish potential. White sturgeon are a marquee draw, especially in slower, deeper runs and edges of main channels. Use heavy gear with 10–16 oz of lead to pin baits—smelt, herring, or squid—close to bottom. Watch your sonar for subtle depth breaks and depressions; anchor just upstream and spread baits at different distances to locate fish. Shad runs in late spring offer nonstop action near dams and current breaks, with tiny silver or chartreuse shad darts worked on light spinning tackle.
Local trout and warmwater options round out Woodland’s fishing. Small lakes and ponds in the area, often stocked in spring, fish well with PowerBait on the bottom, small spoons, and size 12–16 nymphs or woolly buggers for fly anglers. As water warms, look for largemouth bass around wood, docks, and emergent vegetation. Fish soft-plastic worms Texas-rigged, small jigs, and shallow crankbaits in low light. On bright days, slow down with plastics and pitch tighter to heavy cover. Yellow perch, crappie, and bluegill suspend around weed edges and man-made structure; micro jigs tipped with worms or small pieces of nightcrawler under a fixed bobber are simple and effective.
Habitat and tactical tips are key on the Lewis River. In higher flows, fish tight to inside bends, behind boulders, and in soft current just off the main chute—salmon and steelhead use these lanes to conserve energy. As water drops and clears, shift to deeper troughs and slots, scaling down leader diameter and lure size. Fluorocarbon leaders, subtle colors, and long, drag-free drifts dramatically increase hookups. In tide-affected stretches near the Columbia, time your efforts around incoming and outgoing tides that add current and trigger feeding.
- Use polarized glasses to read current seams, submerged wood, and travel lanes.
- Cover water efficiently: start with hardware (spinners, spoons, plugs) to find aggressive fish, then switch to bait or jigs to clean up less active biters.
- Keep a selection of weights to adjust quickly to changing flows and maintain consistent contact with the strike zone.
With rivers, big water, and intimate stillwaters all within minutes, Woodland offers a compact but diverse fishery where adapting to conditions and understanding seasonal movements pays off with consistent catches.
