Well I'm about tired of the Springers and have been trying pretty hard for the summer fish and only catching the occassional fish... Slow but of the 13 summers we've hooked this year with the first on March 6th, 3 have been 16 lbs and the one I busted Parkers 1141 on the hookset was a toad 18-20... I hope these big fish last and they're not just the early 3 salts we get in late April and first couple weeks of May....

I'm looking forward to the 20 fish days but with only 38 pints of eggs left, things might get tight.... These Springers need to start maturing quickly so I can get some more good eggs....

As for the lewis right now, I've never seen such a zoo... The word is out for the springers... There were 49 boats in the meathole monday morning and 23 at the Johnson Creek Flats along with 13 at the Happa Swirl.... We're still catching limits but a lot of people are going home empty handed....
