Spring Chinook "Springers!"
Superior strength, fighting ability, and excellent meat quality combine to make Spring Chinook one of the most popular game fish of the Northwest.
Typical springers run from 10 to 30 pounds and can be taken using a variety of methods including: back bouncing bait, diver and bait, kwikfish, and bobber and bait.
Beginning in April we run drift boat trips on the North and South Santiam Rivers through June.
