so the silvers must have made it threw the dam since the last couple days i decided to try eggs at the spillway since last time i was there everybody was nailing them.and when i got there it was really slow and i needed a to catch a fish so i walked down to all the drifters and got my drift on and about the third cast was fish on.15 mins later landed a 30+chinook.was dark but had the fight i was looking for.threw my line out again and fish on.about 20+.so now i got my confidence so i went up to the spillway and got my egg rig out and started throwing them.the guys there said you can barely feel them pick them up and they were right.everytime i felt something i thought it bounced off a rock and would reel it in to find no bait.very tricky stuff and cant wait to get back out there

Yeah, those guys have lots of time on those rocks to learn that feel, we'll get it. When I was there 2 weeks ago, everyone was catching chrome limits.
