Man I've heard all kinds of complaining about the Columbia springer closure as if that is the only thing happening. The Willamette is starting to come on and all kinds of Columbia tribs are going to be full of springers and summer steelhead soon. Some are alreday being caught up many of them. I usually fish Wind and Drano this time of year but I've had it with those crowds and there are lots of fish to be had all over the place. If fwe get some normal rain its going to go nuts all over!

Ive been releasing lots of nates, native steelhead. Listening to your post gets me pumped up for the summer steelhead when they come in big numbers pretty soon. And I can keep them again! Only some of them though. Thanks for the upper Hammer.
