I watched guys kick their fish onto shore. It was like they were playing soccer with them.

lots of practice getting um outta there, only one small little place you can get bit, and when you do you gotta pull like hell, some break off some dont, usually anything thats not a 5lb hatch brat breaks off, but still badass to hook um. just gotta hope they cooperate and stay outta the sticks! and yea yarnies work great on cascade but i run shrimp or eggs with um most of the time
