Calling all anglers, take your pick! The Byway is loaded with boundless opportunities for some of the Northwest’s best fishing. From fly fishing for rainbows to reeling in that 40-pound salmon, anglers seeking to lure their limit are sure to hook their catch in these prized fishing waters. Visit Mayfield or Riffe Lake for a day on the water, or troll the Cowlitz River, home to the best steelhead fishing in the state. Beautiful lakes and rivers dot the Byway, and with so many options, a great day on the water is nothing less than a guarantee.
