News of the Columbia springer re-opener has me whistlin and singin - yeeehaaaw! Thanks for that news post Jeff. ...

OH YA!!!!! Hey Jeff, this is givin me the chills just thinking about all those unfished on springers stacking up! Gonna use the 'grease' line technique - to the sounds of the movie song "Your the one that I want" ...
"I've got chills, their multiplyin,
gotta have fish, ain't no denyin,
and those fish, they'll be a fryin,
dum de do de dum..... groooovy babe,

Gotta get up, you gotta understaaand,
I want a springer and their in demaaand,
gotta get up, you know I am da maaaaan,
gonna stash some fish right in my vaaan.

Your the one that I want, ,, ,, ,, ,,,
hoo hoo hoo oowa,
your the one that I want, ,, ,, ,, ,,,
hoo hoo hoo oowa,
your the one that I want, ,, ,, ,, ,,,
hoo hoo hoo oowa,
so plee ee eese, I'm on my knee ee ees,

'Cause your the one that I want, dum de
dum do da, hoo hoo hoo oowa,
your the one that I want, ,, ,, ,,,
hoo hoo hoo oowa,
your the one that I want, ,, ,, ,,,
hoo hoo hoo oowa,
so geeeeez, bite my cheeeeese,

Your the one that I want,
dum de dum do wa - DUMB! "

BTW, here is what I suggest for where you should fish on Wednesday: Fish bio scuba divers report that between the Bonneville dealine and several miles downriver to around Rooster Rock that nearly ALL the springers have been caught, and they don't expect good numbers up there until about a week from now. Meanwhile, bio reports indicate thousands of new fish in the very lower river. SO ... I suggest you fish between Cathlamet and the Longview bridge area on Wed. thru Friday. I will be a good sport and do the dirty job of fishing up near Bonneville, just to see if any are poking their way in there again yet, or if there are any early shad. I will let you guys know what I find up there.
