yeah I might have ran out of good eggs but they sure do like my yarn haha. I was thinking at my super duper secret hoe that green spinners might work or even purple. 25/15 for me like previously said.

20/20? You'd save lots of 1oz cannon balls and spend more time in the water if you went with a lighter # leader material than your main line.

I dont like to mess around with the fish, theres tons of people at my hole and i dont want to play the fish. I use 3/4 oz cannonballs. I catch my limit almost daily, theres only been 1 day so far that i havent got my limit this year.
Ive got this river dialed in. Thanks though

remember also the samish has WAYYY bigger fish, i would NEVER keep anything under 15 at the samish, usually the fish u and me walk out with are 20-30 pounds, much larger piggies

The Skok has big fish too, you just have to keep the first two you catch, so you can't pick and choose. I got one the other day must've been 20-25. On 10 pound test. I guess I always fish lighter than everyone else.

is it possible to get ticketed on this river below the 106 bridge? i think i pulled up 5-6 rigs all with barbed hooks, saw like 7 out of 8 people fishing straight up snagging (no even flossing) and people generally fishing like there was no law. i know this place has a reputation for being like this but i wanted to know if there was a reason. cuz if theres no tickets i might as well fish purdy cuttoff mid week.
