8/12/2015 5:38:00 AMforget the long leaders. 30" is about right. a 2'0 hook. one or two small size corkies, perhaps a sprig of yarn, to hold your scent of choice, i like shrimp. for weight, enough pencil head to have you touching bottom every six feet or so. or a half oz cannon ball. cast up at like 1 oclock. let it drint down. the bite is like a small trout. usually. other times, your rig simply stops drifting. if so, set the hook. i have not been down there yet. i like to fish just above freeman. its been my zone, long before the new area and time restrictions. no restrictions on freeman road area now, till the last two days of the month. so. by the 17th, like clockwork, the river will be aswarm with pinks. and silvers. by the first of sep, most of the pinks will be past.

8/12/2015 7:48:00 PMThanks for the tips. I'll take all I can get.
I was running about 20" leader, 1/0 hook, one of the larger corkies and a sprig of yarn. I tried Pink, Purple, Red, Chartruese and Yellow. I think I was using too much weight though. I was feeling the bottom like a typewriter and was probably missing a lot of bites because of it.
