Cool, i'm gonna give this a show.

How often do you get hung up on bottom?  I hear you gotta be very close to bottom, I wonder how much of a struggle dealing with all the wood on the bottom of the river.

At this time of year, I feel compelled to use a small/medium kwikfish to try to entire Cohos in the process.

But bigger sounds better to hit springs (and maybe Chum??) using this technique?
The guy at Fred's said that silver colored spinners were the best lure for Harrison coho. For coho I've done best casting spinners there in the slow water, NOT backtrolling Kwikfish. But I have had a couple of 10 pound Coho there on Kwikfish, so I believe you'll get BIGGER fish on the plugs than the spinners.

"Anything pink", is best for pink salmon, he said. Yep.

Just one opinion.
