I load my huge spinning reel up with 100# tuff line and tip the largest crippled herring I can find with glow paint.  I then take a mattress, poor gas all over it and light it on fire for the light to see.  Cast as far as you can, rip it back as fast as you can and hold on.   By the looks of things, it appears this method is also very popular on the Vedder.

Havn't seen the matress on fire yet in the Vedder though, that would be cool to watch  ;)

Fresh Squamish pinks on the fly got my vote. They tend circle around attempting to release them at about 2' of water. Fraser sockeye - thrashes about like crazy.
