BK,
It's a ***** isn't it. As said before it's quite exciting to watch these fish blast through, but moving fish are goofy, they've got one thing on there mind (the upper river). Moving chinook are a bit easier than moving silvers in my opinion, although both are tough to catch. My best luck on these fish has been eggs though, as you know there is typically a hole that these fish will hold at a certain point in the river. One reason james and I fish from 10:00am on everyday rather than the morning is they actually will bite better as they seem to settle as the afternoon goes on, unless you're talking tidewater. It's always the worst with the first hard rains. This is certainly a tough question to answer, but let me ask you this. Are they HATCHERY Fish? I'd bet they are! They're the worst.
