Well....
Fished off the bank last weekend near longview. Had more interactions with salmon than steelhead. Fun but frustrating at the same time. Hard turning loose a hatchery springer..

Jdarr is right on as far as small spinners. Orange, polished brass, and bronze have been good with red beads. Jdarr, did those "slivers of death" ever produce? Curious..

Slab,

I used to sell a lot of 3,4's in rainbow patterns. Almost allways colorado blades.

A cool trick I learned, instead of stacking beads slide a bobber stop down your leader then put two beads, plastic clevis blade program. You can adjust the distance from bait. Good with herring and prawns..n.
