Corkies for springers
I plan on hitting the cascade opening weekend and I am curious on what are some better colors or combos for springers or kings in general. also any tips on cascade springer would be nice too. I have done good with orange corkies and purple yarn for fall nooks but thats about it.

Re: Corkies for springers
not sure how the Cascade ones like it, but orange with purple is what punched out my Cow springer.
hit it or quit it.

Re: Corkies for springers
Are you planning on just throwing a corky?? Id use eggs if i were you, in which case the color of corky doesnt matter at all if you have some good eggs

Re: Corkies for springers
no early morning I plan on tossing eggs but in the afternoon when the bite slows I heard they bite the corky and yarn better.fishenfreak wrote:Are you planning on just throwing a corky?? Id use eggs if i were you, in which case the color of corky doesnt matter at all if you have some good eggs
so concentrate on bright colors like red, orange and chartreuse. anyone have any luck with prawn tails or pieces of prawn.

Re: Corkies for springers
Prawns/sand shrimp are pretty universal like eggs. I've never had a place where unless they weren't biting anything, where prawns didn't perform.

Re: Corkies for springers
I would use the cleos in 2/5 oz size. Get a 50/50 and an all gold. Gold is a good color.

Re: Corkies for springers
I have heard gold is a good color to use when the water is stained like it is up there. Is 17lb test fluorocarbon too light or too much? Also is there an afternoon bite too or just a morning first light bite.Kockmandoo wrote:I would use the cleos in 2/5 oz size. Get a 50/50 and an all gold. Gold is a good color.
Re: Corkies for springers
I'm gonna run two 1'0 hooks with probably an orange corky and a heap of eggs!

Re: Corkies for springers
I think I am going to have a rod rigged up for float and eggs and another with a heavy wt and eggs with no corky to drift fish and maybe another for spoons and spinners for when the bite slows down.
Re: Corkies for springers
All this talking about springers! Go out and get them! They're thick in the Cowlitz right now, and they're slaying them at Drano! Gosh. Oh, and pink beads. When the egg bite dies, fish the bead.
