I do fine with jigs. bobber and jigs
There are some achievements which are never done in the presence of those who hear of them. Catching salmon is one, and working all night is another.

bobber and eggs does the trick right now too. Yarn balls with sand shrimp scent as well. Twitching big fluffy jigs is also working fantastic. We don't go home without playing at least 10 fish these days.

a really good way on the wallace, is a drift a little lead, 8 ft leader and a little black yarn, they eat it up :)

I dont run 8 foot leaders, anything over 3 or 4 feet is considered flossing to me!

if your trying to floss u can do it with just about any rig you want, and on the other hand you could have a 10 foot leader and a nice clump of eggs, not trying to floss and get every one to bite, you really gotta be trying to floss and drift your gear the right way to do it, its actually really hard to floss a fish just simply drift fishing, because if you think about it, your weight hangs up a bit and the current pushes your gear directly downstream of your weight, so its straight in the current, not across, if ur trying to floss and your holding it tight/reeling while drifting then thats a different story, leader length doesnt always matter

i just like being a troll, just put a little bit of roe colored yarn, and some eggy sent under a float, might get a few to bite, they dont bite too often in the wallace.

[thumbup] Beads and black yarn can pretty much get any coho to bite if nothing else will work.

I have seen coho attack just a bead and black yarn...On the dungy i use red and black yarn/beads and corkies cause the fish hate it cause it imitates a leech following an egg, and theres a ton of leeches in the river. Or atleast thats why i think they bite it, could be wrong but i know that the fish do indeed bite it. Can't hook a fish past the tounge to the point of needing pliers if your trying to floss it.

okay, I don't think that is always a flossing rig, they bite it pretty good at the quil, dungy, dewatto, skok and cascade. I can show you how to fish if you want me to odh before you get that guide servce, key is to use a 3 foot leader, yeah now you can tie 4 leader instead of 1, very economically smart and the fish love it too! [thumbsup] its a win-win :cheers:
