Go down and see Stew at the rivers edge tackle shop and buy some floats and shrimp and head down to the port district or anywhere you feel like fishing off the levee right in town if you want to try your hand fishing for keepers before the Oct 15th opener. Otherwise I would advise you to learn how to swing spoons........ not cast and retrieve spoons but SWING them. Bill Herzog has a great book on spoon fishing. Once you get geared up fish the same water all the spey guys will be fishing, trust me you will see them out there. Don't low hole em just enter the top of the run and cast, take two steps down, and cast again. This is standard procedure when working the run with the spey guys. Prepare to get some dirty looks because if you get halfway decent at this technique you'll be cleaning up plenty of fish behind them.[reply][/reply]
