Salt; I always fished from the peer. Buzz bombs are best, single hook! The trebles don't set in too well for me, they come out easy. Its like the hooks point to far back to the shaft. The rivers EGGS they love eggs if I get it right isn't this what the whole charge up the rivers about? The other things are small spoons GREEN dic-nite, krocs, and spinners BLUE FOX green bodies with vive bell action.... YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN..... The Snohomish is great for these fish.... too bad its closed.
