Thanks for the help in advance.

I like an upstream presentation, but downstream works aswell. Let it sink longer than you normally wood with a hootchie spinners, as the hootchies tend to have drag in the water/buoyant. Once you feel your in the fishes zone, flip your wrist/lift your rod tip up to get the blade engaged. Once you feel your rod vibrating and see your rod tip bouncing you know your spinner is working correctly. Reel slowly, just fast enough to keep from getting snagged up, and to keep your blade spinning. If your fishing shallow water, either switch to a #4 spinner, or reel slightly faster.

As far as giving the fish different rhythms with retrieve speed, that isn't a bad idea, and sometimes thats all thats needed to get finicky coho to bite.

Finishes brass/copper in clear water, and silver/gold in off color/murky water.
