It really cant be fun fishing like this. Its should be about the take! Then the fight. And the bonus of bring a fish home that you actually fooled!
Try standing back and not spooking the fish and free floating a small gob of roe thru.

That will hook ya for life!

If your fishing in a spot were everyone is ripping lines ect, you most likely wont get a real bite. Ever...

I live in Port Orchard and fish like a maniac. Ethically though.
We should go down there together and access the situation, have some fun trying to get them to bite on real bait. I have plenty of awesome eggs cured, and the 35 years of guiding and fishing experience to probably get you real bites.



If the streams are low and clear, its allot tougher.

That's a pretty damn nice offer!  A lot nice than just calling him a snagger (which is tempting) and leaving it at that!

:yeah:
I think in most places the Dewatto is about 20 feet wide at most so casting spinners is tough too.  Basically corkies, yarn or flies that look like roe are all you can use.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

wouldnt waste ur time with dewatto at all. no fish there anymore. last 2 or 3 years it has gotten worse and worse.

tahuya on a incoming tide seems to bring in alot of fish
The only person who has failed is the one who never tried.

That could be, I haven't been to the Dewatto in 3 years for sure and probably more like 5.  I know even then the run was getting smaller and smaller.  The tide is everything there.  I think we did better casting hotshot plugs in the bay at the mouth of the stream.
