Default Columbia springers

Anybody been trying the Columbia? If so, any luck? Seems I have heard of some fish being caught. I suppose if everyone is tightlipped, I will understand. A simple "no comment" would be answer enough!!

I've seen fish hooked and taken from guys tied off to the pilings west of St. Helens near Columbia City. Using kwikfish K14 - K12 depending on the current, in 10 to 15 feet of water. Saw the same thing being done out of Gobel. 3-4 oz. with 3-4 ft. leaders. Tried this myself for the first time Monday. Released a nice native springer about 15 to 20 lbs. Ye haw. What a blast.
