FCTS- Once I'm up 4 or 5 to zero you can fish your "own" eggs... Not the Ultimate Egg Cure... :p Then I'll still whoop ya 4:1 with that!!

Let's not forget a summer run is a summer run no matter where you go in this world, they all like the same thing.. The only thing that differs is just conditions, but "knowing" is the key to success no matter the river.

Yes I don't venture off the Lewis much, but why should I... I can count on one hand the times the boat has been skunked in the last 3 years. It's planted well and with low water conditions a lot of people are scared of the river, the shallow riffles and 7 foot wide spots that are 2" deep... Then when you have higher water years sure there are lots of people but it's rare to find someone who can read "big" water, so they miss all the fish anyhow...

When I do venture off the lewis into the smaller streams you're odds would get worse as far as I see it. One cast with eggs presented "properly" and it's over. Heck we've had 20-25 fish (summer run) days in water that was 200 cfs and 61 degrees... Good luck with your pink worm there! I could just see it hit the water and all the fish headed out the tailout....

Could I catch fish on a pink worm, Sure... But I like #'s (big #'s) and if I'm going to pay $2.50 a gallon right now I'm going to get the best bang for my buck!
