Tried Beads, a White Minnow Jig and the Pink Head Olive Leech Tube Jig shown on the lower left.  All got a fair trial but then the other guy who had arrived before me said he hooked 4 steelhead before I arrived, he hooked another one and I left the olive marabou leech jig on long enough to hook the first and biggest steelhead and then 2 more.

The second Laker took in the late afternoon...

Late in the afternoon this Salmon took this1/48 ounce # 6 Whtie Mop Worm Jig. Earlier in the day I hooked a big fish on an 8mm painted pale yellow Glow Bead.  I took line and got around a snag on the far side of the channel.  I was able...
