As we speak college students all over the country are in-route to tropical locales such as Cancun, Cabo, Miami , etc. to celebrate the ritual known as “Spring Break”. However, for some the allure of free-flowing alcohol and wet t-shirt clad co-eds pales in comparison to the “other” spring break that occurs annually on the historic Columbia River. The spring salmon season.
Every year thousands of heavily layered revelers converge on the waters of the Columbia River hoping to land that elusive “Springer” salmon. Tomorrow I will be joining the huddled masses (we huddle for warmth) on the river in hopes that at the end of the day there will be a large slab of Chinook salmon meat on the grill.
Destination…….Springerquest 2009!!!
Yes it’s an old picture but it’s the best springer I’ve ever caught. :) Jake still doesn’t like touching fish
