i've been fishing the snohimish and i haven't even gotten a bump !!! any help would be appreciated. i've lost four lures and broke my new Lamiglass rod, boy am i batting a 1000 all i need is someone to steal my truck and i will have hit for the cycle. i'm a little green behind the ear's. thanks in advance.

What kina of truck have you got and where are you going to have it parked and Iwill help you out. :p

By being a little green all you have to do is pay your dues,but breaking a new rod should count.

Good luck on your future adventures.

Silvers in fresh water, especially Snohomish silvers, are known for being lockjawed.
When you hang up on a log or rock and need to break your line, don't jerk on the rod. Point your rod at the snag, grab your line at the reel, and pull/walk away from the snag.

Ya only lost 4 lures!! Must have only fished for a hour,huh?

Put in your time and your dues will be paid, then watch out Salmon, here comes a new "fisherman."

Broke the Lami too. Shame on ya, hang on to the line next time.

Put a small or medium Dick Nite on a 3' leader. Cast across stream, let it hit bottom and reel slowly toward you. Good Luck.

There is fish everywhere but there not bitting. Fish the Lowell area today for 3 hours without a bite. The more they hole up the more aggressive they will get. So hope you have better luck. It can't get any worse.

Send your rod back to Lami. I bet they replace it. I had an ugly stick break and they sent me a new one. Good luck

From what I hear (and don't threaten to sue me for slander for relaying it here :-) ), the fish are there in decent numbers but the river is low and clear and too warm for the coho to get excited. A couple days of rain to cool the water temps and I'll be using my SW Air frequent flier miles to come up and toss a couple Dick Nites myself. When the water is this low, clear, and warm, 95% of the coho caught will be hooked in the dorsal mouth.

There are some fish in the Sky now and they seem to bite better there, although I haven't been on the good side of one yet. Saw two caught in about 15 minutes Tues evening.

Try a deep, narrow slot with good current and some seams and bounce a corkie and yarn and/or some eggs through it along various tracks. Its's working for some guys anyway, although not me yet.

Yo Poke,

I got my lawyer on the phone right now as a matter of fact, so watch it! :p

OK 4Salt,

Thanks for the warning. I'm giving Johnny Cochran a retainer tomorrow morning to defend me in all my lawsuits and to have him file an injunction to prevent me from being banned. :-)

Thanks Everyone for all your help keep it coming please. I tell ya it sure is easier catching humpies. I've been up several times and used the old D-N's to no avail. but i did see a guy come a catch a couple in 30 minutes. so whats the deal why him and not me? as for the old Lamiglass it's got a lifetime warrenty i think (i sent it back already) even for greenhorns that should know better. i think it was more the combonation of fire wire and setting the old hook into a log that i thought was a fish. i guess i thought it was a whale.
thanks Vices
