No, you can catch them year round, it's just slower until next October.
Last year was ssupposed to be a good year for springers, and it was in the Columbia, but it was terrible in the northern rivers. I fished every weekend for Wallace springers on the sky and caught just one and saw a handful of others caught. Don't get me started on the cascade opener, it was terrible.
Maybe the Cowlitz will get a good return, that would be nice for people living down south, but I'm not expecting much here in Snohomish County. I mean, I'll probably still be out there, can't beat floating eggs down the sky just below the Wallace, there's winter steel, spring Chinook, whitefish, dolly varden.
