Northwest Fishing Reports

Didn't the Tribe net the mouth Friday?

Just curious what set up you guys use out there? I'm new to river fishing. I know snagging is BS and people outta be beat for it, but it sounds like a lot of people use black corkies and yarn and just set the hook when they feel the line twitch... Flossing I believe? That sounds pretty dirty too no?...
