Watching flows on the Salmon and Clearwater rivers it would appear that we will be dealing with possible high flows in the next two weeks. What would you concider the best way to keep a Kwikfish down in these conditions ?? When flows exceeded 20,000 cfs on the Salmon, flat lineing is not possible. Using a jet diver, the lure will get down, but just reeling it back in the thing fights harder than most fish, can't imagine what it would be like with a fish on. I don't think you deal with this on the Columbia, but maybe on some of the smaller rivers some of you have exp with higher flows ??? Thanks in advance

If you are backtrolling them downstream, I would stick with the divers. If you are just sitting on the pick, switch to a cannonball to walk them back. Adjust the size to the flow, and go with it........
