I wouldn't be waiting to fish for them. Get after them now. ;)

Is the taste of the bait worth the sting of the hook twice?

Those so-so springer seasons have been always better for me on Cowlitz. I have a good feeling for this year. It is just boring when you have to get them up by the dam, when hatchery releases that poop water, or whatever... We want them scattered throughout the river...  :drool:

The hunt,
Try wrapping The arm with 1 wrap of 3/16" pencil led down by the thing that actually pulls the planer away from the bank. Find a deep slot on your side of the river and let it out. Not much to it. think like a fish and try to perdict where they will travel

Team nubby!
