mid-Columbia spring king fishing?

[adfluvial angler]

Can anyone tell me if there is a fishable return of springers between Tri-Cities and Vantage? If so, what is the timing and could anyone recommend a guide for that area?
Thanks,

I don't know what the numbers are, but the Icicle Creek fish go by there. So there are some. Better check your regulations carefully.

Nope. There has been a small bank fishery only, at Ringold the last 2 or 3 years. This fishery was to target the returning Ringold springers, because the run has been dissolved and the state didn't want them reproducing. I believe last year was the last expected run though. Your only other option is the Icicle at Leavenworth. I don't recommend it though.

The closest fishing to spokane for springers is on the snake river above and below little goose dam. That is if WDFW opens it. You can also fish below mcnary, not too bad a drive.
