Eggs was the problem. For Silvers, me and the guys I fish with never throw anything but hardware. We dont catch many Jacks on the hardware but get are fare share of the adults. And yes the adults and jacks generaly hold in the same places out here although sometimes you will pick up Jacks in steelhead water.

Some people will disagree with the eggs thing but I can count on one hand how many good days ive had with them out here for adult silvers.
