I floated from Maxfield to Witcomb Dimmel on the Sol Duc last Saturday. The Iverson hole had four or five of PA's finest blatantly snagging silvers by throwing heavy spoons with trebles into the middle of the fish and pulling hard on the rod three or four times every cast. In the fifteen or twenty minutes I could stand to be anchored there, they had fish on constantly, every one of which was drug in by the tail or dorsal fin.

I don't much care for the "technique," if you want to call it that, of jigging silvers with small lead headed jigs either. About half of the fish hooked in this method are either snagged in the body or outside the mouth from being flossed. If you can't get them to bite..........leave them the #$%@ alone.
