[cool][#0000FF]The spots I was referring to were those that Pete found...both across from the main launch and a bit further uplake. Might be good later in the season.
Those Matzuos are a two-sided coin...errr hook. On one side they are super sharp and hook well. On the other side they are fine wire and may suffer at the jaws of large active fish...like 36" Starvation steelhead. I have never had one fail on a fish...unless I had previously applied too much twist with a pair of pliers while unhooking another fish. But I have landed 5# wipers and 10# cats on those hooks as small as size 4. No guarantees against angler misuse. Loose nut on the reel handle.
