The Coho and springs have figured out how not to get flossed, They are now traveling up river with there mouths closed.

This is when you change tactics to improve your success. 40ft leader and slide a Drennan Zeppler onto the hook so it'd float up to where the fish are. You gotta keep your presentation in the zone!
