Great report!
Similar thing happened to me last Sunday at Keith Wilson bridge.
Bunch of guys tossing roe and some were using wool including myself. I regularly changed the wool colour, but not even a nibble!
After 4hrs I'm still continuing with the same method expecting different results. A guys comes beside me tossing roe and not getting anything. 30 minutes later, he said I'm gonna change to something else. He put on a shinny spinner and I told him "let's see if this is gonna get you any fish!". Second cast, boom, Fish ON! I was laughing my head off and kicking myself in the butt. He lands a nice buck coho and I took a picture for him on his cell phone. He then starts casting it again and I told him "Let's see if it's gonna work the second time too!". Boom, fish on! But he lost it this time. Soon enough everyone starts tossing shinny stuff and since I didn't have any, he endogenously offered me one of his home made spinners. Of course all shaking and excited after 5hrs of fishing, I got it snagged in 5th cast. That was my cue to go home. I thanked him and wished him good luck while he was telling his friend on the phone about his success.
Overall a great day to be on the river and I enjoyed every minute of fishing!

Nice coho, Rod. BTW, where did you get that clarus? I'm looking to buy one.

It doesn't matter what color of wool you're using, you won't be getting fish to bite fishing under the Kieth Wilson Bridge.

If it's your goal to catch biting fish, which by the sounds of things it is, then I suggest concentrating your efforts around the areas that aren't jammed full of snaggers, dredegers, flossers and that sort. If you stand on the bridge and watch the fish below you'll see that they are scared sh!tless and are doing everything in their power to avoid the lines running over them.

I watched the same thing just the other day. Sadly there was one guy on the west side trying his hardest to use his roe and short float properly, but every time he'd go to make a cast, one of the snag bags would screw him up, you could tell he was getting frustrated. That's all I could watch, I had to leave before I did something stupid.
