B.C. Angling has the Coons. Just rig up your bait loop, preferebly in a "stinger" style, to try and stick the ones that short strike your junk. Forearm leader length, and a couple #5, or #7 split shot. Thats it. If you tap bottom more than a few times, reduce your weight. Fish the riffles, and any rock you can see that creates a seam.
So my girl and I went out Saturday morning to Riverside, was wondering if any OFF members were there with that big fire?
I went to Riverside today for a few hours. Worked my way up past the log jam for the first time today. Didn't catch anything I was drifting eggs and running jigs/ eggs under a bobber. Water is moving pretty darn fast still and was a olive drab color on the greener side. There were a few plunkers and just one other guy up past the log jam. I will be drifting it tomorrow I will report back then Barton to Carver.
Got out to Riverside before sun up this morn, it was cooooold
second one at the parking lot, first one on the waterat 6:30, fishing by 7. Drifting coon at the log ram, wasn't getting any action and thought about moving up to the next hole when I see a couple guys go up there so I stay put. After about an hour, still no action, the 2 guys come back down and ask to join me and of course I say sure plenty of room. One casts into the seam and fish on! He pulls a nice clipped steely and I think alright here were go. While he's unhooking his fish the other guy steps into his spot, casts out, bam! fish on. Another nice hatch metalhead. I'm like holy crap what was I doing, I look over and they're both drifting corkies with yarn. They were both very nice guys, turns out they're brothers, and they tell me to step into the spot and take the next one. I throw my shrimp out there, nothing, I rig up a corky, nothing, an hour goes by, nothing. Got skunked, but it was still a good day, finally got to see some steel come out of that spot and met a couple nice fishermen. I told them about OFF and they said they will probably join up.
