Springers are coming in every day. Although it is relatively early (about two weeks), Salmon are trickling in and being caught. There were about ten boats fishing between Elephant rock and the Willows. We saw action at the rock, Clay banks and the Willows. It will be raining Monday to Wednesday which will bring in a more Salmon in greater numbers. It definitely has begun.
