Well, with the first opener for columbia river sockeye since before I was born. I am wondering about how to catch them. I am envisioning something similar to the Lake Washington rig, but plunked off of a 3 way spreader. And instead of a flasher using a spinner blade or a couple of thin twins about 24" above the hooks.
So now the big question, there are about 3000 sockeye going over bonneville a day now, is that enough to target? What type of water do they use to travel in on the big river? I was hoping someone that fishes the Fraser in BC would know, I think the Columbia would fish similar to the Fraser. And last but not least, does anyone else have any rigs that they use for big river sockeye? I know about lining, but don't want to do that, esp since it's illegal here.
Thanks,
Ryan
