Well if you like steel head fishing, there's the Cowlitz river. For lots of other types of fishing (including Muskie) there is lake Mayfield (Mayfield Dam). I heard from my dad that they stocked some monsters over in Carlisle (sp?) lake. brother apparently had a 6 point trout on but line got snagged and broke. For charter boats go out of West Port. For bass, well Riffe lake has good small mouth. Also you can check out some of the fishing sites at the Washington state home page.

If you manage to catch "Squa(sp?) fish" certain size out of the columbia river or some of it tributaries, you can sell them to fishin and game and make some money. They are an invading species and Wa. state is trying to get rid of them. They eat basically everything smaller than them.
