We've noticed with chinook the way they roll is far more important. Not sure if it's the same with steelies. I think when the fish are going airborne or halfway out of the water and falling over this maybe somekind of mating thing or mate selection process. When we see fish "slash" across the top with jus the dorsal fin coming out, we target this fish, he is exhibiting feeding behavior and is active and aggressive. I prefer an activiley moving spinner/bait. Usually a herring jigged or driffted (red labels will kill metalheads), a shrimp under a faster moving bober drift or spinner, retrieved like trout fishing will get-r-done on these fish.
If you would have moved up around the corner form Ericcson Eddy I bet the fish would have been more on the hungry side.
