Let's also remember that if we're talking about fishing the Lewis or the Cowlitz when the fish are really in, you can't really compare those numbers to anywhere else...fishing most places, four or five fish would be a good day.

You have to catch that many fish on those rivers, or it's just not worth the bumper boats and crowded launches. Makes me wonder why people do the June 1 bumper boats on the Skykomish...more fish, many more fish, more steelhead and more salmon, if you're down on the Lewis or Cowlitz. Maybe folks just don't want to drive, or really just want to fish the Sky, both of which I can understand completely.

That being said, even with confidence being a major factor in anyone's fishing, all other things being equal eggs are going to pretty much spank anything else.

The bonus of worms, of course, is that you don't need eggs to fish them. Less mess, less expense, and you can use them in selective gear areas.

Fish on...
