Trip Summary

SPRINGERS ARE HERE Columbia & Willamette Spring Chinook – BOOK NOW The big kings are sliding into the Columbia River and stacking into the Willamette River — and we are on them. These aren’t just salmon. These are chrome-bright, drag-screaming, spring Columbia River CHINOOK. Now through mid-April is PRIME TIME before boat pressure explodes. Early waves mean aggressive fish and serious opportunity. ? What We’re Doing: • Plug-cut herring behind flashers • Dialed-in spinner program • Anchoring eggs when they stack We fish smart. We fish mobile. We fish to WIN. If you’ve been waiting for springers… this is your shot. Spots are LIMITED and the best tide days will not last.
