9/15/2016 11:26:00 PMHey ChiroCracker, When you tip with worm, are you putting a piece of worm on there or using scent?
Also, was it tough to keep kokanee off the line, or have the cutthroat become more dominant in Sammamish?
I grew up there and it was ok to keep kokanee then. I know you can't anymore.

If it's a small worm, I'll put the whole thing on. If it's a big worm, I'll put half or less of it on. We have tried a few different scents but the worms work best.
If I had the chance this weekend I'd be out on Lk Washington going for coho. That'll have to wait till another day.
