The numbers of Spring Chinook coming over Winchester should be big this year as evidenced by the full window lately. A buddy and I went over recently to try our hand at catching one. We went to the good old boy hole and hooked two fish. Now I usually don't bait fish but when it comes to putting a slab away I can force myself. One got off and one was landed. 25lbs of pure chrome North Umpqua Springer. In my opinion, the best tasting salmon on the face of the earth. The fat content is so high it's like butter! Delicious!
It was actually fun to jaw jack with the old boys and see how those guys get along. You would never get 10 fly guys on the same rock and not have a war break out.
