10/2/2015 10:53:00 PMHey Jon. The other boat guys said no takers. However, I snagged a wiggle wart on a log and left it till just before I was taking off. Scooted in slowly to the big log in a deep pool to get the lure. Wow, saw about 50 silvers scatter all over moving from my boat. They were there in a very small area the whole time.
I'm not too proud to admit I have to learn each lesson the hard way. I think my egg fishing was sloppy. I also think I should have used an 1/8 oz jig or maribou fly in the shallows around the logs. Water was super clear and it seems the presentation should be excellent or much smaller/ both. I'll learn. Funny that you never stop learning about salmon.

10/2/2015 11:10:00 PMTry a size 3 blue fox in that shallow water, and run it close to logs. Ive gotten at least a dozen hook ups like that this year. Purple, brass, blue, and dark green are my favorites.

10/3/2015 7:53:00 AMThanks for the tip. I'll try it. I have several blue fox, but not purple in that size. When I got home I thought of just such a thing cayse of reading a previous post of yours.
With the current rain the water should get a little more color and that should make it easier. It looked green but in close you could see everything. That usually means smaller sizes to me. Also, good delivery of the bait or lure. If it were bass, it would have been time for a nightcrawler or crawdad- live bait with natural action.
