Fish-N-Chips, don't take me the wrong way, I am not calling you a flosser (I saw your original post), I was acually trying to be rather civil.
If you are talking the hatchery hole on Three Rivers, I can assure you it was flossed
I've caught quite a few salmon on corky/yarn set ups, with no bait, also just plain corkies because my glob of eggs fell off and i didn't want to deal with more bait ...the corkies **** 'em off. Like has been said, it just depends on where you're fishing, if you're fishing pressured water, such as a deadline, it's a lost cause...but if you're fishing a quiet hole in the morning, that little corky whizzing by is going to get their attention and they're gonna want to know what it is that's invading their area.
I never stated that Salmon do not eat them, because I will agree with you that fish are curious creatures, Salmon are a species of fish that are very curious when their mind is set in the feeding mode, which is generally in the ocean, all fish are different, when they enter the river some of these fish may willingly feed on a wide variety of items, some may be very picky on what they will accept, most will have lockjaw, maybe they get a burst of hunger (or curiosity) during a certain hour on a certain day, Salmon are very unpredictable, so saying what they do and don't like can be both right and wrong on any given day.
There is always a lot more to consider than most think when something does or does not work.
Hmmmmmm. That's all I'm gonna say on that....
Well, people need to get out of denial, ever thought of what gets me fired up? Ignorance, there is an endless world of possibilities out there, most only put 1/8 of the possibilities into consideration.
I continue to word my opinion (mostly facts in this thread) to broaden peoples horizons, I'd say naturally 80% of fishermen are stuck in a box.

(there is plenty of pocket water that snaggers and flossers are way to lazy to even attempt to go). Too bad law enforcement is too lazy to hike those rivers more and give out tickets for that crap.
That doesn't make sense, first of all, I will say a flosser/snagger is desperate for dinner, so they will go to many extents to go home with one fish, including hiking. Second, if flossers and snaggers never attempt to go to these hike in holes, why would law enforcement need to visit these holes? Can I also include I am trying to speak in a friendly manner, I ain't getting at anyones throat, some people seem to get at mine any chance they feel is appropriate, just trying to clear up what you were saying, a lot of your post was changed since yesterday.
If you are talking the hatchery hole on Three Rivers, I can assure you it was flossed, in my days of flossing, Three Rivers hatchery was hit the hardest, flossing is virtually the only way to catch them at the hatchery since the water is too fast and too shallow, unless one got lucky with a spinner or a plug, we used to sight floss them in the daytime hours.
Even if Salmon do eat bare corky's willingly, most of the fish are flossed.
presentation is everything in steelhead and salmon fishing
Wow you really have no idea what the heck your talking about. The hatchery hole at three rivers is a great hole for several techniques. I was there when fishnchips caught the chinook and i can assure you it was NOT flossed. Since you were not there perhaps you should stop calling him a liar. (Indirectly)
