Who out there can tell me where and when to fish for springers in Washington. I live in N. Seattle and want to plan a weekend fishing trip somewhere by a productive river. Which river would be ideal to travel to for a weekend and still be legal to take a slab of meat home with me. I don't fish the Peninsula much and haven't got a clue what regulations apply to what river. I would prefer not to travel 300 mile for good fishing but you know how it goes sometime. When you fish the heck out of your local waters until you can't stand to waste you time anymore, it's just frustrating! Please help!!! Fish on!

My favorite and most productive Springer destination is the Wind River in early May.

I would give the Lewis River a good look. We did real good down there last year We hooked fish every trip we took in my boat.
