Well we had a really short, but sweet Columbia Gorge Springer season this year. Drano Lake closed early this year to collect brood stock fish for hatchery programs and the Wind River wasn't opened at all. This caused there to be HUGE crowds at Drano Lake. If you could keep your sanity and navigate the crowd, the fishing was pretty good overall. Trolling super baits, herring, and spinners was working for us. In the clear water, the fish are suspended, so you have to hunt daily for what depth is best, but 15-25 fow seems to be the target zone. Now that this season is shut down, we will focus back on walleye, sturgeon, and shad until the Summer King fishery opens on July 1st.
