chinooks

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

Usually big streamers in bright colours (pink, purple, blue, orange, red and black as well) work good. 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.
