Just thought I would share the news with my fellow OFFers. I saw a nice, bright Springer caught today on the Willamette River in the Independence area today. The only problem was the intact adipose fin on it's back, so back in it went. They're here....

Cool-I live in Salem and am anxious to launch at Wallace Marine Park and try my luck downstream. I found a You Tube video of some guys catching fish south of the Hwy 22 bridge. Anyone have any advice?
Spinners or plugs 30" leader and an 18" dropper. 4 to 6 of depth in the " Travel lane". You will need a decent "rocking chair" anchor and a float. Have patience this fishery can be frustrating at times.

dying a slow death? sounds like their spending their ritirement wisely to me
their fishing! you would think this would be respected on a fishing forum
Hey,Indifisher!!
Glad to have you back! Nice report as usual. Hope to hear more from you in the future. ;-)
Joni,
I meant no offense with the "dying a slow death" statement. It was meant to reflect the style of fishing and the fact that this fishery is never "red hot". Plunking is not for everybody. Some people have a hard time sitting in one spot for up to 10 hrs straight with nothing to show for it at the end of the day. Trust me, been there done that, might do it again someday. I never made reference to anybody being old, retired, etc. Some of the guys were younger than me. The spot is known as "Social Security Hole", even shows up on Google Maps that way. I have shown nothing but respect to the members of this forum, both on line and in person.
The point of all this is that the Springers are in the Salem area, and probably up the mainstem of the Santiam. Good luck and Tight Lines.

I will be out there Fri, Sat, and Sun from about the butt crack of dawn till I limit. I target mostly Steelhead in the area, a Springer is a bonus. With the numbers lately, I might just have to target a Springer or two. If I have an open seat on any of these days, I will be sure to let people know.
