Springer caught on the Willy
I was at GI Joes this pm and one of the salesmen said a springer had been caught on the Willy. I didn't hear any details. Can anyone verify this ?

I concur with Dave...only it's usually happened by now....like a week or two ago in prior years.

Re: Springer caught on the Willy
If I remember correctly, the first ifisher to report a springer caught last year caught it on January 21.

Re: Springer caught on the Willy
Was going to get the boat out and go this weekend but decided that 300,000 gallons of raw sewage in the Willamette wasn't what I wanted to fish in ... I'll probably get the boat in for next weekend and start fishing the mouth of the channel, the Sellwood mid Feburary.

Re: Springer caught on the Willy
Just in time for my reels to get back from Reelmeister Al.
I wonder if a springer will hit the dreaded pink worm? I'm going to find out.

Re: Springer caught on the Willy
I was down there at fisherman getting some new line when the guy brought in the chinook. I believe he said he got it from the area around that zipperlip park. The one that is north of the mouth the clackamas river.

Re: Springer caught on the Willy
Borrowed from the Local Fisherman's News:
Several spring chinook salmon have been confirmed landed by anglers fishing off the beach at Prescott Beach, one was a real nice 35-pound fish. Another springer was also caught from the sandy shores of Willow Bar on Saturday, January 24th. On the Willamette River first confirmed springer was caught by a boat angler off Meldrum Bay on Saturday, January 24th. It weighed 25 pounds 10 ounces. Quite a big fish considering they are expecting mostly 3 and 4 year olds this year.
