Dick with a silver bullet. Thanks, Robert I personally love a good soaking ran. Combine that with a good strong gusty wind out of the west and that spells fish. I have not studied which is more conducive to creating a larger run. Some people say that what creates the largest runs are when the days grow shorter.
Less sunlight triggers the fish's biological clock to charge up river.
Wish I could be of more help. RON Ron, When fishing for Salmon I only use Estaz grand wrapped on the hook in different colors. I keep it very simple. 2. different sized hooks. Whitakers Sports Shop and Motel carries all the colors I use.
