yarnies might work for cascade silvers maybe bobber dogged with some eggs or scented up. As longs as your presentation is on the bottom and it looks/smells like eggs, a cascade silver will take it.

I fish yarnies almost religiously. I absolutely love them, and steelhead and salmon (and trout suckers and whitefish) can't stay away! I tie mine very differently though. End results pretty much the same still.

I pulled two summers out if the cow last weekend on them and two kings on the sky. I fished bait to start and when I didn't get anything switched back to yarnies and hit fish. Like I said, I swear by them. ;)
