finally a springer

[plunker01]

A buddy sent me a pic yesterday of a springer he got so I grabbed my gear and ran to the river to meet him and give it a try and right before dark my pole got hammered and I landed this 17 pounder. My first one of the year and theres nothing like that first springer. The one my buddy got was also 17 pounds. Cant wait to go do it all over again

Thee smelt have been thick for about a week now and in the last two days the river has came up about 3 feet atleast so things should start to get better. The lower river below the toutle is pretty ugly so I would try up high. Thats where I was last night. Im going out again today after work to give it another try

Nice work! I have neen blanked on 3 attempts so far this year. 1 bank day on the Cow and 2 boat days on the big river. The early bite has been slow so far. Hope things are turning around! Good luck the rest of the season.
