Now i will be staying with mom in lebanon for a few weekends. Waterloo with all the rest of the locals Nice to see a springer return that is worth fishing for.That many summers over in a week and you will catch them in the tribs by the first of April shortly before the Springers
So I was checking out the Willamette Falls counts and noticed that 25 springers and 182 summers have braved the falls this last week. Also noticed that its the highest march springer passage over the falls by March 11 in the last decade. The closest came in 2001, with 26 and a total run of 52,000+ over willamette falls that year. Is this an accurate way to try and predict the run or just an early shot of fish? Could ODFW miscalculated the run low this time?..A penny for your thoughts.
Kodiak,
Would u say springer fishing on all parts of the santiam is done mostly by boat or bank?

Bullit--nice avatar! I'm not sure about that. If you look in the archives there has always been that early spurt of warm water with hardley any fish moving over. I think it has more to do with the nets not being in the lower river to hijack the early big spawners. I've seen some pics of absolute toads circulating...the way it should be.
