I don't know. Kevin Lund tells me that those are probably carp. The commercial gillnetter who gets to set his nets on that stretch (Its a 100% hatchery run), and who was anchored off to the side of that big meat hole, says that those are springers, carp and sturgeon. I sure would like to sit on it for a couple of hours with bobbers and gooey wet eggs. Or maybe hover fish with brined anchovies. Either way, doesn't seem that willamette stock springers should act all that different than springers from the Lewis or the Cowlitz.

And than again those are fish, which probably means I don't know what the hell is going on. But its definitly an interesting fishery.
