I don't know what the bankies were using. We watched a guy through binoculars land one, but I think it was foul hooked by the way he was fighting. Plus he let it go. Saw another fish being cleaned when we took out. Maybe 14 pounder, tops.

We were in a sled and fished down river. We're not real familiar with that stretch from Barrier to Blue Creek, so we were on a scouting mission. Found some real nice plugging water and drifting water.

I'd suspect that eggs or shrimp would do equally well for the springers when drifting. We pulled some wrapped Kwikfish but didn't get any action.

But looking at the F4 results, and the count over Bonneville, doesn't seem to be many fish available yet.
