Fished the confluence hole on the Snoho today from the confluece down about 1 mile south of the highway and everything in between. Launched at about 630am We started off the day back trolling plugs with nothing to show for it. From there we tried just about everything, back bouncing, side drifting, dick nites, bait, bait divers, floats, spinners, spoons, jigs, you name it we threw it at them.... anchored, trolling, more anchor, more trolling, drifting..... NADA. Early on we didn't see much fish action on the surface, although we saw 2 fish landed in pretty quick succession right up near the confluence. Ran down river a ways and got into a pretty good concentration of fish, my buddy hooked one plunking eggs and a spin n glo but it came unbottoned after about 2 headshakes. Caught 1 little chinook smolt and a nasty little squafish and that was all. Saw to "ladies" on shore throwing some pikeminnows onto a string (EWWWWWW!!!), lol. When we pulled the boat out at around 2:30pm we talked to one other boat who had landed 3 fish.... lucky them.... lol (apparently we sucked). We saw a lot of boats pulling plugs AGAINST the current UPSTREAM, I have never really tried this technique, but the 2 we saw landed were taken this way and the boat that said they had gotten 3 was fishing like that too.... any opinions on this type of trolling?
