The theory is that sockeye feed on tiny krill and bare hooks "match the hatch". Be sure to look back in the archives for lake Washington for tips on catching sockeye and silvers on lake washington. The archives go back to 1996 so you will find a ton of information on how to catch these fish. Also there is an in-depth sockeye article in the article archives section.
