Then your fishing it right.
buy black spinners, or use a sharpie to make them black.
Let your spinner sink for a few seconds, and try to keep it spinning as slowly as possible.
Be out at first/last light. This time of year, in these warm, low conditions, midday chinook fishing is a tough gig.
I like to put a little smelly jelly on the hook of my spinner (don't get any on the blade, it messes up the action).
Fish the entire hole, and don't overlook the 3-8 foot broken surface water -- offers shade during the day.
I'll think of more tips.
And i've been a spinner fisherman for so long, i don't lose nearly as many as i used to -- but it's an acquired skill. Unless it's breaking your budget, don't sweat losing hardware. If it will break your budget, use a different technique.
Got some black spinners today and will drag myself out of bed to be on the river esrly. I really appreciate all of your adviseTry to hit the water at sun up- first legal light.

Spinners are good, good bait is better.
I've heard that my whole life -- and to this day, I disagree.
