I managed to land 28" Silver on the Cascade last Saturday. There were quite a few fish in the river and quite a few people fishing. Saw one on the bank when I got there and there were a about 15 people fishing at the mouth. A friend and I went down river to get away from the crowds. I spent about an hour and a half trying different patterns, sizes, and colors to coax a silver onto my line. The only thing that ended up paying off was persistence. After about a dozen humpies I finally hooked into a nice silver. I think the best part was that it was in front of a lot of egg chucker’s. The fight was great and turned a lot of heads and smiles. Only bad thing was a typical white trash gear head decided to cross the river towards me while I was playing the fish to stand where I was when I hooked it. What a tard. I asked him not cross right then and then a couple of guys on his side gave him a verbal licking for even thinking about it. Anyway, I caught it on a small pink fly with lead eyes called a humpy chaser and was dead drifting in moderate current where the fish were holding. The take was obvious as my finger has a nice abrasion on it where I was not paying attention and holding my line. I tried clousers, comets, egg patterns, and a couple marabou patterns in pink, green, white, and blue. My suggestion is to try as much stuff as possible. Silvers can be picky and unpredictable when in the rivers.
