pink worms/salmon derby. WTH

[azppp]

Not to be a deuce or anything but, would you consider me flossing if im fishing in my estimate a 7 foot pool with a 4 foot max float rig? Im a big fan of the pinkies and out east that was the ticket for me last monday, not as much pressure i guess compared to the weekend, i was drifting roe the first 2 hours got myself 3 nookies, on various colored bags and similar sizes, then when the bite suddenly stoppedi switched into the pinkies, 10 mins later the bite was on like there was no tomorrow, i switched to roe again every hour or so, changing from roe to pinkie every hour, but when i move pools i make it sure that im about estimatedly 3 feet from the bottom, i considered last monday to be one of my sucessfull days 11/15 more or less 5 on the roe and 6 on the pinkie, dont take it wrong from me but i dont think there was anything wrong with my method. And i might have get what your trying to prove the wrong way, (please correct me if i did so) but in a way i kinda got offended that some people were against drifting pinkies, i was searching and hoping a brown or a steelhead would take my offering( specially the pinkie) but i dont know for whatever reason it ends up in the salmons mouth either its pissed off from it drifting beside it, did he really want to eat it or did it have a case of flossing, some folks from quebec were saying im a pro flosser cause i seemed to hit fish more often than them when they were fishing beside me, i got offended that time and decided to be the bigger man and kept my mouth shut. Few hours later they left cause all they were doing was snagging anyway( i mean heavy rods loaded with 60 lb braid and a nasty big spoon and float rigs with 50 lb braided line set deeper than lake ontario) in my very honest opinion my intentions to fish is clean, none of these methods i.e snagging, lining flossing is in anyway acceptable to me, to me if people assume that i was doing such methods to catch fish i wouldnt be on the water, cause i take pride in how my methods were developed and honed. I got nothing bad against you brother or to anyone who gets affected but this thread kinda rubbed me off the wrong way, and if i stepped on someones foot i apologize, i might have just got the message or the point the wrong way

keep doing your thing brotha...all this talk about just another lure

I was searching for the salmon derby pics on FB but I guess they removed it.

There was one pic that I remember that was taken on a bend that had the sunken tree.

I can't believe how many anglers in that one pic. Someone even pointed out the guys on top of the banks who were jigging.

The pic I was talking about isn't on that link.

I guess they choose not to show it.

This was a terribly run derby. What I witnessed was brutal. The conditions were not ideal, summer flows, gin clear water and in the run below the dam, every fish was getting lined. I saw a guy all decked out in float gear go up to a salmon below the new wire and line this Salmon. This was happening all over the place. Very disappointed to say the least. How can a group support guys who fish 7 foot leads in 2 feet of gin clear water? Give your heads a shake guys. What a gong show.

i didnt believe the pink worm thing untill today.
buddy was spotting salmon in pools and ripping em out like nothing.. noticed he had a pink worm on. oh and also about 8 feet below the float in about 3 feet of water. not fast water either...
i just walked away shaking my head.

retarded

I have recently witnessed 2 guys snagging steelhead in the bellies and tails with float rigs. The water was chocolate milk, fast flowing and right beneath a dam. Never seen anything like it before. Not gonna go over their rig cause don't want anyone else trying it out.

Whats their rig??? Hahahahaha

My personal favourite setup, 200 pound Dacron a 1/0 treble and a pound of lead. Buddy found this on a GB trib...

Man you could become famous if you started throwing that thing in the water, how about snagging 3 chinnies at a time?? Maybe you could fit 2 chinnies on each hook totalling 6 chinnies per cast. The snaggers would be beggin you for it.

My line got tangled with another anglers line and that's what he was using.

6 hooks in total.
