I'll be getting my new willie this coming saturday. One of the first places I'm thinking about going is to the Barrier or Blue creek drift. I have done a little rowing in a drift baot but not much. I'm more intrested in getting some info on holes and strategies for fishing the springers in that part of the river. I've never fished it and wannna get started.when is the best time to fish it for the springers? is the big run yet to come in or has it gone through? what about the Chehalis, from Satsop down should it be anygood now or are the fish up farther? I really need something to fish for so I'll have something to do when trying my new boat out. if ya know what I mean. any info would be much apreciated. thanks.
