“Wouldn't it be nice if there were other river systems that could at least have a "springer fishery"?????/”

“ and it was nice to only have to drive 7-8 miles to put in.”


They played “run makers” with springers on the Green here in king co years back. Got lotsa eager volunteers, sold a lot of punch cards, changed the opening dates of the river putting more pressure on winter kelts, wild rainbow and cutthroat , and then stopped the rule of ”no fishing from boats/transportation only” on the river to let it rip, pull the plugs, and boondoggle from top to bottom. After a few dismal returns, they quietly quit and never looked back, nor returning the river to the original angling rules.


oh I hear ya, I’m only a few hundred yards from the creek, and it caught me, when they began a “local” bring back the springers program, and so did a lot us, back in day...
