If it can be drift fished with a corky,you can fish it with a spoon or spinner"thats the way the whole is set up"doesn't really make sence to me,maybe I dont know ****

halibuthitman said:the water you describe you need, sounds like the NF of the umpqua to me.. thats not much of a drive from the rogue.
halibuthitman said:yeah theres a boat launch just outside of town on the north fork, I can't think of its name but maddog would know it.. it has EXACTLY the water scenario you describe and Ive watched fellas fish it.
Mad dog said:I know I've shared these pic's before and they aren't corkies, but....It's the same principle of what a chinook will eat or won't eat! We catch salmon all the time fishing steelhead gear....light leaders, small artificials, #4 hook....these fish most deffinetely bit! Pick it up just like a steelhead! Why??? Who cares why! They just do! Would I fish a big hook behind a small corky....No!!! But, if you scale things down, I think most anglers would be amazed at what a chinook will bite!

lilguido said:Jeff, this is greg... the reason you see most bankies fish corkies on the middle is cause its dam near impossible to run any type of kwikie from the bank... spoons and spinners in holes like finley would not produce... and there arent very many areas that are good to plunk like the chetco and umpqua. one thing i would recommend if you are going to keep trying from the bank is bobber and eggs. Or find a point that sticks out into the river and essentially back bounce roe or use the bobber and roe.... maybe this will help a lil.. maybe not.
