I have fished the Yakima for many years. That, in itself, does not make me
right, but was anyone aware of a run of SPRING kings in the Yakima? I have
seen summer/fall kings now, around this time frame, but Spring Chinook? It
seems awful peculiar that we get a very big run of Spring Kings shortly after
they open a hatchery that are WILD fish, according to the WDG, when I have
never seen a Spring King in the river before. Jere
