My contact tells me that on Friday, there was easily 100 boats on the Lewis. Most in Aetna, MeatHole, Blood Rock, Docks, Hapa, and few trying to get some summer runs or tidewater springers.

Some fish are being caught. Those that know what they are doing are getting fish. Most are not, or are only getting a fish here and there.

The key is using something the fish haven't seen. After seeing a million baits go by them, the springers stop biting.

Also, "the fleet" has already started heavily fishing for summer runs down there. It's way too early for any consistant numbers, but hey, to each their own.

I won't be fishing down there until the summer runs really start coming in - in June. In the meantime, there are plenty of springers and summer runs to be caught in other, less used, rivers.

Oh yeah, I don't know much about the Kalama, so I can't help you there. Sorry.
