Elochoman River Fishing Guide

A intimate Southwest Washington tributary known for winter steelhead and fall coho. Smaller water, fewer boats, and some of the hardest-fighting fish in the region.

The Elochoman River is a gem for anglers who want smaller water and a more personal fishing experience. It flows through Wahkiakum County into the Columbia and is best known for winter steelhead and fall coho.

Because the Elochoman is smaller than the Kalama or Cowlitz, fishing here is hands-on and active. You are in the game on every drift, every bobber drop, and every bite. Winter steelhead from January through March can be excellent when conditions align, and fall coho provide aggressive action through October and November.

This is the river we recommend when clients want to get away from crowds and fish water that rewards patience, precision, and local knowledge.

Limited boat access makes timing and water levels critical. We fish the Elochoman when conditions and runs support productive drift-boat fishing.

Fishing doesn't get any better than with Chrome City Guide Service. All we had to do was dress for the weather and bring our fishing licenses. Trevor and his team know all the local rivers and the secret hot spots! 100% professional and friendly. Can't wait to limit out again!

If you want to get on fish and have an awesome time doing it, Trevor is the man! Super knowledgable and feels like he is part of the creek or river you are fishing. My family spent three days on the river with him and my boys took him in like family. Outstanding guide. Even better dude!
