Fishing this past weekend we used eggs with the smallest corkies. Couldnt get any bites after about 45 minutes so I changed up and added lead and put on a midsized corkie. First cast banked 26" native. I put on enough lead that so that it would drift extremely slow and I was almost jigging it along the bottom. Picked up 4 fish in about 2 hrs.
HUNTSMAN I think I know what hole you are talking about and I do know about that seem. If it is just my group I put on enough lead I will kinda long line behind that rock from the upper part of that hole. I will jig eggs behind it until I finally get kicked out by the current. Have caught a lot of fish by doing that. To be honest I have caught about 50% of my steelhead from not actually drifting but just letting it sit there and waiting for a bite. When I am doing this I usually have eggs or a night crawler following a small corkie. Not to many people do this and I think it is one of the most under rated techniques. Do have to say it all depends on who is fishing around you so that you dont impede others methods.
