Columbia River - Springers

Had one of the customers call from the Columbia last evening with a Spring Chinnook Report. Fishing the Columbia between Troutdale and the 205 Bridge yesterday they managed to land a 25 pound chinook , unfortunately having to release it as it was wild! They managed to get one other fish on but came unbuttoned before they were able to see if it was hatchery or wild. They were trolling with green sized herring. They said the pressure was very slight with only perhaps half a dozen boats fishing in that section of river. The other anglers they spoke with did not have anything. Though not a report to set the world on fire at least it is encouraging to see that there are some fish starting to show.

Hopefully we will get another report from them later today.
