<br>This may be a little late for Chinook salmon but the steelhead are coming up fast here in Michigan.<br><br>I like to role my eggs across the bottom of the river. <br><br>Fishing off shore or wading I will cast across the river allowing my eggs to role across the bottom down river.<br><br>I use an egg sinker just heavy enough to get to the bottom of the river but not heavy enough to stop the current from dragging it down river.<br><br>I will cast at different lengths to end up at different distances down river. If I don’t get anything in a minute or two I will recast, hoping that a salmon will spot the rolling eggs.<br><br>I do use a 30-pound test backing and 25-pound leader. I do catch the bottom where I fish at from time to time.<br><br>Say Mike that sure is a nice fish. Is that about 28 pounds?<br><br><br><br><A HREF="http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/MESS6438/" target="_new">http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/MESS6438/</A> <br>Lookie See what the kids are up to.<br>Dave T. Clown
