All those rivers are a bit of a drive.
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook

He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

Hmm, I wonder how many of these spring Chinook's will reach the McKenzie River in Oregon(where I am originally from). Since the McKenzie turns into the Willamette, which then connects to the Columbia, I am sure there will be a few.

Better remember to pack my gear if I visit back home this spring :colors:

I'd love to go after some of those springers myself, but the columbia's a little too far south for me. Gas is even more expensive when you're laid off.
When times get tough, just keep on fishin'!!!
