Thanks for the replies, guys. STRIKE ZONE, we had one in the boat when we talked to you, we hit 3 more downriver, but only landed one of them....a nice nate hen, superchrome, released as always. I lost a pig that wrapped up in the anchor rope and Dave lost a nice fish that took those same eggs under a float. Thanks, again STRIKE ZONE and it was a pleasure meeting you.

I know that double hook setups with eggs can be lethal on nates, I don't plan on using them where there are lots of nates present, I'm mostly just curious as to what others are using. I probably won't even use that rig until next year around the hatchery terminal areas. I appreciate your concern about wild fish and steelie smolts, and advise others to keep this in mind as two #4 hooks or even two #2's are easily injested by juvenile fish.

Thanks again to everybody that posted and keep 'em coming..........tight lines, Justin.
