Post by: Fishing Fool on January 15, 2011, 03:27:59 PM: Howdy Mossy,just got home from the confluence/lower Clearwater/ Snake south of interstate bridge, 1500 Hrs. I hit the Snake below Asotin first thing, pulling plugs, zip. Three chaps were bobber-flopping same area, put three in the box, saw one more fall to bobber/ shrimp, I cut away about 1100 Hrs, hit lower Clearwater/confluence, did not mark any fish above sardine size. Marked a nice string, pod of fish around the power-lines below Asotin, where the bobber gang was whuppin' up on them. Had some sucess down river from Clarkston last week, remote release on a 10-12 ish, put a 17# hi-fin to the boat and my partner last saturday whacked a 20# buck, a keeper. Yah, he was tickled. Hope this helps. Tight lines, FF

Bobber/shrimp-- bobber floppin' is same same. some of the "gifted ones" 'round here look down their nose at us "pond fisherman" , bobber fishing is easy to learn and dosen't require years of study and practice. Plugs are working west of Clarkston, bobbers south of Clarkston with eggs or shrimp . Shoot me a note couple days before you head south, see if I can shake the bushes for the latest Intel.
