First entry is a 39 ¼ Springer caught 9 June by AndyK. Springer was caught using a ten weight rod and a floating fly line and a nymphing presentation. It took an Olive Shrimp fly.



This entry is not eligible for the prize.

I caught this 34 inch Springer on Thursday, 8 June.



I was swinging some of my favorite steelhead water, but was using my ten-weight (with a type 3 sink tip line) because I knew there were Springers in the river. The Springer took a #4 Black Gordon, barbless (if you're fishing C&R, you should be using a barbless hook!).

Okay, I'll post another Springer:



This Springer was a 31½ inch hatchery fish. I was nymphing with a ten weight rod, floating line and the Springer took an Olive Shrimp.
