what are some good corky and yarn colors odh?

they not picky any color yo like, cannonball bounce bounce bounce load up set da hook haha in da moufe

I bet spinners and spoons work just as well at barrier.

lets see why waste egg on dumb coho btw i got a 1/2 oz maribau that kills them coho twitched but yo gotta cast to the other side if da pool takes a 15' centerpin rod to do it..btw ive landed nearly 50 chromer springers at cowlitz on eggz this spring so dont hate its a waste of egg on koho.28# chromer springer these are just some

+1 on that Rvr_fshr.

Eggs are a lot of fun and involve a fair amount of work and knowledge just on their own to become very successful using them (handling and curing process alone can be pretty technical if you want to do it very well- bleeding eggs, keeping your scent off, drying them properly, curing them, storing them etc ).

Corkies or beads of course work too but can't understand why it would be a waste to use eggs on Cow fall Coho?

I'd love to catch them on eggs drifting or bobbering if I had the time. Emphasis on time

i burned through 50# of cured eggz for springers/steelhead this yr,i still ran out.. sure i could catch coho all day at cowlitz freedrifting eggz nothin like a egg bite btw i know..but i think its a waste for me i save as much silver egg as i can for springers/steelhead . if you got plenty to spare by all means go for it eggs work great

I've never seen anyone floating jigs for coho, but It may be worth a shot. Twitching jigs do work, just gotta get em before the flossers show up. Lazy bunch though, they usually show up late morning

Yeah a guy down by barrier was showing me all his twitching jigs and stuff that he claims he gets limits every time on them, he was pretty cool, gave me some good tips on coho on cowlitz and I swapped jigs with him. But yeah that pool right in front of the parking area at the dam would be great for twitching jigs or float bait, might pick up some late summers or early winter too.

thanks everyone, it seems the forecast for 2012 coho is not good in the cowlitz
