dick nites, slow and low.. magical

Try a size 0 pink/chartreuse scale mylar wing spin-glo with a couple of pink glow in the dark beads, followed by a red size 1/0 hook and a piece of cured prawn tail.

[FishingThePacNW]

Drift fishing or float?

[TroutSnipr]

I run it plunking with my weight on an 18" 8lb test down line clipped on one of the plastic tube sliders(or a 3 way swivel) then red bead with swivel, the 12lb test fluro leader and the spin glo rig. On the Columbia we used to run 3 spin glo rigs like this on staggered length single line leaders off the main line about 2 feet apart. i suppose you could bobber it as well with a lot less weight to just keep the down line in touch with the bottom.

[FishingThePacNW]

Ok, thanks for the info!! ill try alot of different stuff!!

[TroutSnipr]

Some people also use a second bare trailer hook about 2-3" from the main baited hook. If the fish strikes short of the bait it'll get the trailer hook and you get the fish.

How long are the boots in the wallace till they are all gone?

Ive seen coho until christmas or so, give or take a couple weeks
not any numbers but there will be a couple around then

[FishingThePacNW]

When are there big numbers in the Wallace?

[fear_no_fish]

I don't know the run super well but October and early November should have a bunch of fish. With the run growing through September and thinning out through December.

[FishingThePacNW]

Ok thanks

[fear_no_fish]

Also, watch reports in area 8-2 and 9 as well as the snohomish and sky, you can almost track them up until they start spilling into the wallace, or just follow the people haha

[FishingThePacNW]

Im gunna fish the snoho and sky as well but i just cant wait till they hit the wallace because i can sight fish!

I've actually done better on the Wallace when I can't see them... It gets enough pressure that if you can find an area deep and dark, odds are they are in there.... If you can see the fish, they can see you...

[knotabassturd]

who said I am flossing it is called spinners and jigs dude, get the facts straight

Are you fishing the mouth/tidewater that way (jigs)? Just curious. TIA.

no any deep pools I can find or slower water where fish will hold up for a couple minutes before continueing up.
What are some good corky colors for silvers when they are on the move?

[chongo469]

I think anything in a pinkish red when they are on the move... I truly believe when salmon in general take eggs , it's a predatory thing,like trying to kill off anyone else's eggs but your own.

[Brat Bonker]

yeah I brought down some eggs with me yesterday but they were really bad and freezer burned as well.
