The Springer fishing opportunity on the Columbia river could be better than expected once the stay home order lifts and fishing is opened up again. I’m going to break down for you exactly why that will be the case.
This years run of spring kings on the Columbia River had me seriously questioning whether it was worth the time and effort to drive 2.5 hours, fish a new part of the river and chase a run predicted to be worse than most recent previous years. Here’s the deal though: One, just one Columbia River Springer is enough to make it worth the effort. The meat quality is better than any other salmon or steelhead (fish?) you can angle for in the Pacific Northwest.
