I know that March 31st is the closing day for steelhead. When does the Springers ( chinook ) open? I was reading in the fishing and hunting news and they predicted the Wind river and Drano Lake was going to be open April 1st,has anyone heard anything different? My buddy and I would like to go out of town this weekend if the springers are going to be open. My girlfriend leaves out of town, and it had to be this weekend, you know! Could anyone help me with this topic? We will be fishing from the bank unfortunately! See ya, tight lines!
