Title: Cathlamet Springer report
Post by: Mark Youngblood on March 12, 2016, 04:31:17 PM: I went to Cathlamet today with some friends for the inaugural springer run to juts get the bugs out. Weather SUCKED...rain, wind, cold....did not last long...lol We launched at 8 and fished the channel (best we could) for about 3 hours until we had juts had enough. The fish checker said he had not saw a single fish come in and that last weekend he had checked 7 fish but nothing since then. The parking lot was pretty full at Elocohman marina as well as several RV so people are fishing but just not much catching yet. I figure 2 more weeks and it should be worth fishing (I hope)but hopefully they come sooner than later....I was fishing 5 rods all with various colored herring and flashers over in the channel.

Can't have that, that would put fishermen on the river at the same time as the fish! :o

No kidding... My districts spring break starts around the 15th so I'm pulling for a few April extensions.

We'll be in Cathlamet as well this weekend. Saturday and Sunday in the marina.
