I'm in, too. Where's the launch point and when? Need to replace the anchor I lost Tuesday, Insayn, you got one I can buy?

Back to the topic.

I'm planning on being at the parking lot adjacent to Davis Bar at 7:00AM Sunday.  There's plenty of free parking and both Oregon and Washington fishing licenses are valid when launching here. 

Appropriate Gear:Bait
Mooching, Spinner or Prawn Spinner Rigs
Weights
Leader for your dropper line
Flashers (if you've trolled before)
Sliding swivels or 3-way swivels
Beadchains

Anyone who wants an on the water tutorial for chasing springers is welcome.

Doesn't look like an iHop friendly launch site, no ramp, right? I may have to take a drive over there beforehand to see if it's doable for me.

I thought today was the last open day for spring salmon on the Columbia.

The Willamette is kicking out fish.  If I get one more fish box phone pic while I'm at work today I'll go nuts.

Maybe Willamette Park or Sellwood might be another good option?

I'm counting on the extension and looking to include our Washington brothers in the fun.

Chime in you Washingtonians!  Would you be willing to do this in Oregon waters?

I'd like to go but can't make it. Don't catch them all. Leave some for us upriver people. I know there's one with my name on it down there.

Hey Hoppa, there's a boat launch about a mile and a half west of there, just past Frenchman's Bar Park.  It's a bit of a peddle but it's an option...  Also, sounds like we might have enough people to help carry the island down to the water?
