Here's a question for the board. How many springers are really caught in the Forks area at the end of March? I can think of one or perhaps two early springers I've hooked on the Hoh in the last ten years while fishing for steelhead. Since I really don't target salmon I need some input.

There would of course be a few more in April, however, I think we are leaning toward latter March to hold the tourney. I ask because permitting requires us to get two permits, one for the steelhead tournament and one for the salmon tournament, tecnicality being they would be held on the same day. I'm just wondering if we should even get the salmon permit and just make it a steelhead tournament. Thoughts?
