I go to the very small stuff. I bust out the 8 foot noodle rod with 4 pound test and use blue fox spinners that are size 1 and 2. The fish don't seem as threatened by the small spinners and pick them up thinking it's a nice little snack. For those that don't believe in the light gear I landed a coho on the Elwha that weighed 19-20 pounds.
