Early springers are the bomb! I've bbq'd several jacks over the years while on anchor at Skamakowa. Truly some of the best eats out there! Springers are really the only salmon I actually BBQ (little garlic salt and lemon pepper..nothing else), as the rest get smoked or smoke/canned. I don't blackmouth fish though (yet).

June summer runs in the PS rivers, or August summer runs on the Snake (or the Upper Columbia back when we could keep them that early). Not a big fan of Reds. Do love the triploids also (I seem to catch a few of those LOL)!
