What is the expected return on the Umpqua? Also, when do the first fish start to come in? If my memory serves me right there are some real big ones in the early runs. What is your preferred method for early springer fishing? Shrimp? wrapped Kwikfish? Rogue River spinners with anchovie?
kicks off late march ,spinners,anchovy spinners or qwikfish are all effective . runs have been very poor the last couple of years not sure whats expected this year though.
Yeah, it has been pretty tough to get one the last few years. We had a couple of successful years a while ago. Back then we caught several in the third week of March. I remember getting one on Easter. I know that it has a lot to do with river conditions but don't they sometimes have an early run in late February?
yeah a few are caught in FEB every year by people fishing for steelhead
have heard a few people say that a couple have been hooked already this year
