after i've read a topic bout fishing river with PLUGS section, me and a buddy was on our way to snohomish thursday morning and convince my buddy to stop by at fredmeyer to buy a plug i dont know what this look like but did a lil research and got an idea,so grab 2 and hit the counter then on our way to the river excited.when we got to snoh. the water is crazy too high and fast current we where wondering if we ever get lucky that day but we drive all the way from edmonds so we look for a good spot,we walk far down river not knowing whats a head,fond a Okey spot so we decided to take it.hes using DN 50/50 as hes been using ever and I set up my plugs,to make this story short I was doing good fishing with plugs got hook 6 pinks although zombies already but its a bite and i have more fun than my buddy and he manage to hoook a what we belive a coho but it snap before we even reel it.this prove i found a new weapon for the next salmon run.though changing those trible hook to single ones are a bit challenging and can lose someones temper, like for real.well we have fun and call it a day.

if your using a buoyant plug you can use trebles.

I think you can only use the trebles in the river if you are in a boat and your motor is running. Thats what I have always been told buoyant plug or not.
What plug is it? It its a tad pole style one like a Brads fat fish run a belly chain off the belly and siawash hook. If its more like the Lindy river rocker style I would just put a siawash on the tail end and no belly hook. You will hook up better on the different styles if they are rigged right. It has to do with the size of the wobble the lure makes while fishing.
Also make your first few reels very fast as soon as the lure hits the water to make it dive deep, then fish it back to you very slow.
They are dynamite!!!!!!!!!!

This is what the wdfw says about plugs:

Anti-Snagging Rule Except when fishing with
a buoyant lure (with no weights added to the
line or lure), or trolling from a vessel or floating
device, terminal fishing gear is restricted to a
lure or bait with one single-point hook. Hooks
must measure ¾" or less from point to shank,
and must be attached to or below the lure or
bait. Weights may not be attached below or less
than 12" above the lure or bait.
