Good going fishon. There are more nates this season. I suggest that those using plugs and spinners/spoons to replace the stock treble hooks with a siwash hook, which is much easier to remove and less damaging to the fish. Also, I suggest putting away diver and bait rigs because the fish often swallow the bait deep and have a higher mortality rate with that setup. Driftfishing bait is mostly OK because the hook usually sticks in the corner of their mouths. - RT
Good advice RT. I saw a fish hooked deeply on Sunday and fortunately it was a hatchery fish. Had it been a native it would not have survived because of the profuse bleeding. North Coast guide Marty Peterson stops using bait diver very early the year because of the chance a deeply hooked native fish may not survive. Way to go Marty We need more guides like him.
Nice work fishon.
I also fished the Wilson all day Fri/Sat.
Hooked 7 landed 5. 2 nates/3hatchery.
The one hatchery was 10#Chrome Bright but spawned out.
Threw shrimp both days drift fishing. All hooks easily removed.
Saw Jennie and Big Stew.
Fished the Wilson today and went 3 for 4 . 3 on jigs and one drift fishing.2 hatchery 1 native. The water was low but just the way I like it. Fishon, do you drive a black blazer or does the guys you fish with drive one???I was watching some guys pitching spinners on Saturday, Thought it might be you Great day on the river today John
