like i stated before you can't use bait on these rivers! so there is no gob of eggs for them to bite. can't even use scent. i don't disagree with the fish taking bait. if i was a fish and big glob of eggs went by I'd bite them too. doesn't happen in these rivers though. :twocents:

Spinners plugs and TWITCHING jigs all work. I have had days I caught silvers one after another on pink worms under a float. Bait is not the only option.

i have NEVER caught a salmon in ANY river that bit my line. it is either FLOSSED or outright SNAGGED. I didnt intend for this to be a method thread but buschcrawler is right , they dont bite in the rivers guys. if you get one in the mouth good for you , i am just saying it dont happen very often.

Seansfire, get real. You obviously have no clue, do you? Maybe you need to do some more research regarding this topic because the majority of your points are way off base. Out of the more than 300 humpies from this year, maybe only 25 were foul hooked. All the rest were biters hooked in the mouth. Keep it up, I'm sure it won't be long before you meet your fate at the other end of the game warden's ticket book. >:(

Not to jack this thread, but it was amazing Ironhead. 53, 39, 36, were my best three days. Think my wife wants a divorce after I put 26 jars of pink eggs in the fridge/freezer.  :IBCOOL:

For slow moving water twitching and spinners. 

For fast moving water plugs.

So I am a little late getting in on this, and rarely speak up on the issue of flossing, but come on!!  If you think that the onlyway to put fish in the cooler is to snag them your fishing experience is very limited.  I realize that alot more people on the west side are bank bound than on the east side(hanford reach) for salmon so not too many people back troll.  All you snaggers and flossers please explain to me how I boat over one hundred nooks a year and every single one of them are hooked LEAGALLY in the mouth.

kbyers, because we do it the right way, the fun way. I'd rather have a head shaker on the end of my line than try to pull in a foul hooked fish.

the rivers on the kitsap peninsula are small. 3inches deep with 3ft holes here and there. no chance of putting a boat in couldn't even use a small raft. most of them you can jump from one bank to the other. I'll get some pics.

This could turn out to be one of the most entertaining fishing threads in a long time.

Salmon don't bite in rivers...
300 humpies caught, only some were foul hooked...
treble hooks and 2x4s...

but I still don't know what color corkie works best for "gill forward" hookups   :hello:
