Canyon Man--
Not going to bash you about the difference between flossing, snagging and a bite, But, I am going to tell you that 90% of the fish you hook are Flossed.
Coho will case a dick nite under certain conditions, that requires visabiltiy that is around 3-4 feet. Anything over that and the fish are all jambed into the slots like the rock wall below the 522 bridge.
Trust me on this, I have been fishing that hole for almost 25 years with a dick nite. All those fish that have been taken in that hole are lined up like soldiers.
Once you have the dick nite at the right level, it is a slaughter fest as all the boats are proving. Same gose for Thomas Eddy, There are only about 3 holes that are producing fish and those fish are lined up perfect for flossing and snagging.
I will argue with any of you about the rock wall, you are not hooking fish by getting them to bite, so call it what it is. Flossing pure and simple. If you ever get a chance to watch a dick nite go through a hole loaded with fish and see what happens when the line gets in their mouth, you will see the head go back and forth, mouth wide open trying to get rid of the line, as they breath, the dick nite will most of the time hook them somewhere around the maxilary. If you hook them right in the end of their beak, they probably bite it. That is how they bite. I have watched you and the rest of the show in that hole.
Now for a little trivia question for all of you that will start bashing my post---
Where was the Dick Nite perfected, what river?
Who came up with the set-up for throwing Dich Nites? Is he alive or passed on?
Who started Dick Nite fishing on the Snohomish?
Then ask yourself, how did I learn this system? Maybe from some old timer that has been protecting it for 30 years?
Tough to watch a pack of boats turn it into a slaughter in one hole and call it sporting.
