Default What NW Rivers have good Springer runs??

I know that the Columbia, Willamette, and Santiam have good springer runs, but there are other rivers that have good runs like the Nestucca, Wilson, Trask.

But how some other rivers that might not be at the top of most peoples list. Some of you might want to hold that information kind of close to your vest, but my idea is that more information spreads out the fishermen also. So anyway give me your top 3 springer rivers that are not mentioned above, if you would be so kind.

Thanks
Captn

There are no springers in the Columbia, I repeat, there are no springers in the Columbia, fish the Santiams!

None in the Willy either, you will be wasting your time and money.

The salmon are airlifted from the ocean for faster harvest I hear! [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img] :grin:

Tualatin, Mill Creek, and Pringle Creek in that order. >Full of Springers<. I would rate the NoneYa fourth.

Please don't spread this too far, but Johnson Creek was on fire last year - literally. There is a good hole up by Precision Cast Parts.

Don't forget the massive exodus of springers down the pudding river. Esp. right off of the bridge below Mallories Dairy - Watch out for the killer nutria though.

You know, I wasn't going to put Fanno Creek on my list, but it's sure a good runner-up. In realspeak, I fish mostly the Santiam, just due to being bank-bound and it beign close to Salem.
