Welp, not quite the trip I had in mind. Me and kinghunter hit the snoqualmie at the mouth of tokul creek at about 7:00 in the morning. Started drifting a little cleo 2/5 spoon. Had a tap on that then ended up losing it on a snag a couple minutes later. Switched to corky and yarn, no action there. One guy landed one across the mouth from us so we decided to switch spots and methods. Went over to the other side of the mouth and switched to bobber and jig. Had a few takedowns there, turns out me and kinghunter both caught a 10" whitefish each. Wasn't much, but the skunk was off and that was a big plus. Threw 'em both back. Tried for a while longer there but didn't have any luck. Quite a few people there early on. Thinned out the later it got. Packed up around 12:30 and headed south to the green. Nothing goin' on down there either. Water was nice and clear at both locations, 3'+ visibility. Just no fish. Still no birthday steelies for me, had a great time fishin with kinghunter though. We'll do it again soon!

I have heard Whitefish are very good eating. At least you got to fish on your birthday!

Catching anything is always better than catching nothing.

Question:
I had a hard time getting my cleo to the bottome the other day. I thought of adding weight.
Do you actually "drift" the cleo?

I usually add just a touch of lead (1/4 oz max) to the swivel. It seems to help it ride the drift a little better.

I agree with splitshot, at least you caught something. lol. So you do drift the cleo? Never thought of drifting a spoon.
