Eggs should be your first line of attack, also float a jig tipped with raw shrimp/prawns...or if you want to cure your prawns just cure them in fire cure (or cure of your choice) like you would eggs. Some people simply coat them in Borax the night before and fish them that way. And I know we've got drift haters around these parts....but I've seen guys killing them with UV roe beads. Purple, Pink, and Chartreuse seem to be the "go to" colors. Don't be afraid of scent either...shrimp and krill should get them interested. Good luck...I'll be out there somewhere! LOL

10/31/2013 3:52:00 PMFishing eggs for Chums, is like fishing eggs for humpies. lol. I've had my best luck float fishing jigs with shrimp. Chartreuse, Purple, and pink jigs seem to work the best. Metzler is a popular spot when it opens up, and the mouth of Soos Creek is also popular. Right now, there are better rivers, if you wanna target chums.

Chum like to hang in frog water. 3-6 feet deep. Look on the skykomish around sultan. There are some really good chum spots. They spawn like crazy in the Wallace river
