Fishing
Although it surrounds much of southern Willapa Bay, Willapa National
Wildlife Refuge is not considered a prime fishing location. However, fishing
is permitted from the shores of Willapa Bay. Most visitors interested
in fishing on the refuge are in search of sturgeon. Occasionally, other
species such as chum salmon are also attempted. Fishing is not permitted
on the refuge streams or interior sloughs.
CAUTION:
Tidal fluctuations, currents, extensive mud flats, and rapidly changing
weather can make boating in Willapa Bay difficult and occasionally dangerous.
Carry a tide table and check weather forecasts. Walking on Willapa Bay
mud flats requires special equipment…the fine silty mud can act
much like quicksand.
