Washougal River Salmon October 09 Clark County WA

The Washougal River is lower than I've seen it in the ten years that we have lived here. I feel sorry for the poor Salmon who are trying to make it up river to spawn. The salmon are coming back from a year or two in the ocean and are headed to a great fish hatchery about 15-20 miles up the Washougal River. Very often you can watch the Salmon splash through the rocks or perhaps gather in great schools and swarm round and round in the pools, trying to decide which of them will lead the way up through all the shallow rapids. This year, that will be very difficult for them because the river is so low.

If you take a drive up the Washougal river to see the fish, you can stop at some of the pull-outs along the road, but standing on the bridges is the best way to watch the fish. There's also a beautiful waterfall that looks like a teeny tiny version of the Niagra falls in early summer. The name of the falls is "Dougan Falls." But, right now...the water flow has to be greatly diminished. Bring a picnic though, there are beautiful fir trees and picnic tables in an area right past Dougan Falls on the left. Enjoy!
