I was up there 3 years ago may 11-17 and it was lights out on jigs even left a few at the lodge for some of the guides. We found that the spring fish would crush just about anything in front of them. It was the big brutes that had been in the river for awhile that were gear shy. We found the greens and blues in the egg sucking leech patterns worked for the shy fish. Also fished the salt water for salmon on our charter day with a hog over 40lbs.
