i dont know i think a mix of both. i was surpirsed to see no one there with a net in hand. so im guessing i should have been up amongst the crowd cause i was one of the only ones down as far as i was

I rarelly see people with nets down there but it would help if you hooked into a Hog. How many fish were cuaght today when you were there.

Small hooks are always good, but not to small, If you use to big of a hook the fish wouldent want to bit. Id recomend a size 4 or smaller when drifting corkies.

Do you know what he was using, Sometimes when everyone is catching fish and you not its good to use what other people around you are using, like the same coler of corkie ,ect. What coler was everone mostly using bright colers are always good like pink, orenge, green, blue.

Size 4 is fine for steelhead, for salmon I'd step up in hook size. I use anywhere from a 2-1/0 depending on where I'm fishing.

Ya that.


Im usin' size 2 Owner Needle Points right now. Switchin back to Cutting Points when these crappy things are gone.

fishy4, after feeling rock after rock for so long, you will know the difference when you feel "that rock that felt like a fish". Set the hook on that one next time.
