Greetings,
Now that I'm FINALLY found the time to make my first pitiful showing at the Gorge bridge to grab some herring, I've got to ask the size question.
It seems that the herring I've caught (... all three of them, ha ha) are larger than I would use for Salmon; 8-9" long. Should I plug cut the bigger ones? What sizes would typically be used whole?
Or does the old addage apply: "bigger bait = bigger fish"?
I realize that Hali's like 'em big but I'm not equiped to target them so i'm looking strictly for Chinook.
Cheers,
Alex
... "high water" is when you can fish from your car.
