Got to the river at daybreak with ilvlakecassidy from this website. he was using a jig under a float, I focused on using hardware, blue fox, Dick night, and twitching jigs. we hiked long and far, trudged through water and woods to find a good hole. All I can say is we need rain to push up the next batch of coho. I also brought a pack of worms just in case. That was the only thing I caught anything on. I got an 11" whitefish. Then a 8" cutt. Then I hook up.... I fought it in near shore, i shout down the bank at my friend but he didnt hear me. I had a chromer on... But it wasnt a salmon... This was,a cutthroat of 20". Long story short my line was frayed from drifting all morning and it ended up getting snapped off :( I was using a trout rod with 6# mono, 3/8s Oz split shot 20" lead hook and worm. For drifting worms, my other setup was rigged with 20# mono mainline, and 12# flourocarbine leader for salmon. What a terrible feeling it was... I know better I should've checked/retied my line.. Ohhh well a fine day to be on the river fish or not.
