Non-Fly Springers fishing. Photo heavy

I don’t fish for them because I’m not set up with the right boat and gear, but we LOVE going to Anthony’s in Richland and enjoying them in the spring. It’s an expensive meal and worth it. Undoubtedly far less than fuel and guide service to fish for them. But, a spring trip for them is on my bucket list.
x2 - if there is a better tasting fish than fresh springer, hasn't made it's way into my mouth yet....

One of my favorite fisheries is plunking for Springers. Kick back with my stadium seat cushion under a nice shade tree, cold beverage and an occasional cigar. Damn, I love it..
@PnwChrome great job! I know it's still early but how is your fishing comparing to previous years? Fingers crossed this is a decent run. With the dam counts where they are and the big river running a little warmer than previous years, the counts should be higher if it's a big run, but who knows...,

Honestly I think we have destroyed our early run fish, vast majority of our spring run shows up later this month through May and into June, the conditions are not great for plunkers this year but pretty good for boats, I think folks have forgotten how to fish for these early springers and where to be in lower water conditions. But saying that I will know more come April 18th or so where this run stands, if I had to guess I would say it will be on par or slightly lower than last year. But plenty around to get if your doing it right.... I had 6 trips in the lower river (not guiding) and we bonked 8 and released two so there is fish around.

I'm with you, spring Chinook are fantastic table fare (I guess I need to go to Anthony's to get some, eh, Mark?).
I have one or two seats left in May that's about it , pretty much completely booked for springers if you want a seat call soon as possible we can figure it out.
