Guest scavs Report post Posted October 2, 2013 Anyone having any luck with chinooks on the fly? I have tried streamers, egg patterns, bead heads, and various minnows.I find with any shallow water situation it is extremely difficult not to spook fish, and the deeper pool situation the fish do not seem interested in any of my presentation choices.I've honestly only triggered chinooks with cranks and spoons Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bunny leeches or zonkers in those colours are good. Also have heard from a few people that red woolly buggers really aggravate them. You may also hook into a feisty fall steelhead if they're present in the river. Quote "Whack em' and stack em',kill em' and grill em'" Ted Nugent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
