They are springs, a few are caught each year around now and earlier. I caught one a number of years ago as did 2:40 Gordie about 5 years back.

The river is open for fly fishing only in May from the Vedder Bridge down river. The upper river is closed for the months of May and June. The whole system opens again July 1st. Because of the closures and fly only its hard to tell how many springs are in the system until July 1st. As Chris said, there are a few caught in March or April, but usually not very many.

I have a right to fish and a responsibility to treat this right as a privilege.

Ethics is your actions and behaviour when no one is watching.

A problem well stated is a problem half solved.

Since when was snagging just a question of ethics and personal choice?
