More Cowlitz Spring Chinook Salmon

These Salmon are sparse and tricky when trying to convince them to bite but the fight is the best I have found. They hit hard and fight harder than their fall counter parts. The latest fish I caught almost took the pole from my hand when it hit. It gave me a couple of aerial spins before grabbing the current and diving deep. They take a lot more persuading to get them out of the current and it is not uncommon to have them charge up stream. This one was caught drifting two red corkies and a peach poke dot cheater.



The meat is nice on these springers.

Loser Takes All!
