My old fishing buddy is still there. He keeps me in the loop. Yeah, I heard about the springers.

I hear they are chrome bright and packed full of sea lice by the time they enter the WW.

Actually, other than being told they are dark as boots, I have yet to see a photo of one, so that's only hersay. Although, I bet if you could get one down by the mouth of the WW, they might be OK. Past that, I bet they "ripen" up pretty quickly. Eh, who knows - I sure don't. I never saw a salmon of any kind on the WW.

Post some photos of some WW fish when you start to catch them. I certainly will enjoy the photos. Include some scenery with it, and I'll play the "guess where this is", game!
