Ya'll,

With almost double the previous record return predicted back this next spring, has anyone heard whether the majority will be 3, 4, or 5 salt fish? Either way, 38 to 40 thousand will be fun if it materializes. clap:

Where did you get the 38-40k numbers? I know it was a huge number of jacks that returned this year so that should mean bigger numbers of adults returning. Hopefully more fish in general to the columbia, not just drano.

Sorry,

may have been slightly over zelouse with my memory, but it was close enough. Here is the link.

Article said 36k, that is still huge, lets see if it actually happens and if we get to fish it. Thanks for the article. Too bad the numbers aren't the same down below.

38,000 is a huge number and I can't wait. Fish should start piling in the lake late Winter and early Spring. Talk about lights out fishin. Numbers like that may be once in a lifetime............ HOLY SMOKES!!!!!!!!!!! Tup: Should be a few bigguns too.
Even if the run is half that. WOW!

Now Booking Drano Springers! :lol:
