I remember those discussions at the time, I think you even brought that up at one of early Baker Lake meetings at Mill Creek when they were discussing opening the river to sportsman.

The second year it was open I used my underwater camera mounted on my downrigger to find fish the day before it opened.

We used several different hookless offerings behind a dodger, we were amazed at how aggressive these fish were, some would follow the hoochie for 10 minutes repeatedly attacking it.

In Lake Washington the sockeye would follow it, then, maybe gently mouth it once, and swim away. And most fish just looked at it.
