Fished my hole from 430 to 730. Tried dicknites. Nothing until I changed to a pink/white size 1. Next cast produced a nice 14-plus inch Rainbow that was promptly released. After that no luck. Switch over to my short 7' Ugly Stik Lite spinning rod to test my marabou jigs that I tied.

I'd been using my old Sensilite (Shimano circa 1996) composite graphite 8.5 ft rod in the Snohomish for those, but had no real luck, except for the one I got week back or so. Action is rather light medium....too soft a tip I think.

The Ugly Stik is of newer graphite material and bit more sensitive. Yeah baby....hooked and landed 2 darker bucks and lost another one. Had numerous bites, but missed. Rod is a bit short though to reach the far places.

I'm twitching a very fast rate, but with just the wrist. Hopping along the bottom. Gonna have to try the Snoho again for the brighter fish. I do want to get another rod....ideally 9.5 feet 1/8 to half ounce rating....fast action side of things. Saw couple big hooknose silvers jump right before dark.
