Has anyone been down to the Bonneville or Willamette area for sringers yet? Going to head down in a week or so. I'm familliar with Beacon Rock buty haven't fished the Kathlamette area. Any advice?

It has slowed way down this last week. If you go down there, launch at willow grove or cathlamet and run downriver and you'll see boats. If you are early look for piling below cathlamet and hug the oregon side below willow grove. Look for water in the 20ft range.

It was pretty good until saturday when the Willamette and Cowlitz started blowing major mud. Needs a week to clear. Where I was fishing, (Longview area), it was averaging about a fish for every three boats, which is phenomenal for this early in the season.

Kwik fish on a dropper from the anchor on the outgoing, herring on the troll on the incoming is the usual drill.
