It was spotty for springers on the Duc' in my boat but we got a couple. A couple takedowns a day, either crack of dawn or heavy water. I really didn't fish it often. In three days we landed four springers and a few spawners. That is until we started fishing the Kalama almost every day. That baby was hot from may on for our boat. Starting mid may we hooked quite a bit of steelies too. Killer fighters! But those kalama springers are the best eating fish ever....screw sockeye. Real fatty! I'm not kiddin' about the kalama either, what a fun place when may normally sucks. Wouldn't be a bad place to live. Sorry I'm gettin' carried away, that was fun. I heard the wind was super juiced too, even more than the kalama, I just couldn't leave em' to find em'. Back to the lower Duc, how in the hell do you walk a boat down some of that [Bleeeeep!]? Five fingers ya, but some of the drops? What float did you do? Not to be rude Kalamabama, but again how many boards is it still FLOATABLE? I dont mind banging around.
