Thanks to everyone for the good advice! I've read and re-read the "Mighty Zog's" (Robbo's nickname) book on spoon fishing for stealhead but there's always room for other opinions as well.

Not only have I printed out all this good stuff, I've also lightened my wallet at the Mortac website. (If you see a lefty crying on a BC river this fall, it's me and I've just lost another 24 karat gold plated Mortac spoon!)

From time to time I read posts about the Board ain't what it used to be. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who asks a legit question about technique usually gets some super recommendations. I mean, where else can you get a recommendation for spray paint that contains the actual product number? (Thanks, Reel Truth.)
