First OFF, welcome to the forum.. The knowledge contained in this forum is a gold mine.. Lots of very sharp people here willing to have their brains picked.. I was on the Nesstucca about 3 weeks ago.. I got skunked.. Don't let that dissuade you from going.. I'm a noob and have the most basic of grasps of fishing in a current. If it helps, I was drifting eggs and jigs (an all pink and a nightmare jig under a balsa float..) Maybe I was just throwing the wrong presentation at them.. But I was fishing pinch points where you could see the bottom the entire way across the water and I didn't see anything swimming by.. Let alone fish that WERE there, and just not interested in my presentation.. Let me know how you do.. I'm interested to find out what actually works in that water..
Happy Fishing,
Kyle
