Has anyone been out or heard anything yet? I've heard a few rumors of a fish or two around.

I'm gettin anxious too, but based on the last couple years, March early April is the time to start watching the dam counts. The mouth might get some a bit earlier, who knows? Good luck.

Accordimg to the paper the other day,at least 2 were caught in the Willamete last week.
There was an article posted on here a couple weeks ago about the springer runs this year.
The main part of the run was supposed to be 5 salt fish(I think thats right) They said the fish are not only going to be bigger than in the average year,but that they usually come in earlier than usuall.According to the article it said you should start targeting them this month.
If you do a search you should be able to find the article.
