sullie, i thik its still a bit early..lol.. i have caught 1 springer my whole entire life, but then again only fished for them a few times, but the one i mangaed to catch was on a chartruese bucktail jig under a bobber, its productive if you find a deep enough hole, use a slip bobber if you need to get far enough, eggs work also, the sol duc gets some fish, im not sure how many, need to check with bob on that one, i only know of the columbia besides that for springers..
