I am so excited to head down to Portland and check out this place in person.
Everyone who mentions it speaks with reverence about it.

First, Congratulations.

Second, having been to The Wet Spot numerous times, (one of the benefits of 
living in the south of the state.)  I can state that the fish there are 
always in good health.  I wouldn't be suprised if they were getting ready to

spawn, the move was the trigger.
