anyone who thinks that kings and coho will jump all over a corky and yarn combination but needs eggs to catch a steelhead is probably a snagger. 

I'm not so sure that's true, fishing is equal parts art and science and everyone has their own ideal set of circumstances and gear that they fish the most productively. Kings I have done well using pixie spoons, eggs and jigs, I prefer to use the spoons. Silvers I do well in salt trolling (I know the area I fish very well), kings I do pretty fair trolling as well. Fishing a buzz bomb for silvers or humpies either in the lower river or salt I excel at, I'm better than average fishing for both with a dick nite too. Chums you can't beat a float+jig with a piece of prawn in the river but I've caught all species on corky and yarn. Steelhead are more condition specific in my experience, bait, lure size, leader length and weight  according to water speed/clarity/temperature but I fish float+jig the most productively for them.

Hey guys all I wanted to say was don't rule out the yarn and corkie, it can be a very effective method. I rarely ever snag salmon, or steelhead for that matter. I never use black yarn,  my setup for kings in that river usually tend to be a combo of orange and chartruesse. It works very well for me and I can certainly tell you they are NOT getting flossed or snagged. My post sounded a little arrogant yesterday since I've gone back and read it, but I make no appologies as to the method I discuss. Many of the guys I mentioned fish professional tourneys and have appeared in several magazines. Even I have been in one. I just wanted to let you know that I do know what I'm talking about when it comes to the way I fish, If your method works for you great, just don't rule out one method because you may now have had success with it. I'm not a bait basher as I use eggs on occaision as well, I have been very successful using the yarn and corkie setup for most applications and thats all I wanted to communicate
