oh okay, thanks for explaining. Have heard of and eaten White Springs. It's all great but also prefer the "reds". Have lived in Northern BC and the Interior/Cariboo, so have enjoyed a lot of great fish while there, -there was so much of it in Northern BC, they built a community smokehouse and the residents cut the alder and kept the smoke going round the clock. Lots of trout too, in the Cariboo district, Dolly Vardens - Steelhead, - like you say, would like some around now : )
