Buyer beware with fresh eggs! Gillnet season for springers/summer chinook (that have mature eggs) on the Columbia is coming up/in progress. I attempted to buy fresh eggs a couple times, but nobody was ever too forthcoming about the source of the eggs. The gillnet fisheries on the columbia seem to be a primary source from the few people that coughed up information. In the end I decided just to wait, make hatchery fish bite, bonk them and take their eggs. With a little persistence there are plenty available for sport harvest unless you seriously want to chuck a LOT of guts. Also fish bite lots of stuff besides eggs. Before you buy these type of eggs, consider what the impact is for wild chinooks and wild steelhead (bycatch in nets!) headed upriver. Or just try and find another source of high-quality eggs that doesn't impact native stocks... Not easy...
