This is going to be multiple reports compiled into one. So I went out fishing on Saturday morning at Douglas Bar and seen fish being caught and tons of rollers but didn't score any myself, then at about 9:00am I went to Thomas Eddy and fished till about noon, and nothing there either, but still bunches of fish rolling . Sunday I went out again to Thomas Eddy and caught a nice hen and buck both very good sized early at about 8:00am. I have photos but I'm on my work computer typing this out. I also went out Monday evening to try my luck but didn't catch a thing. I see people catching fish with Dick Nites, but I'm not sure what size or how to even set up a Dick Night for pinks. I see that there is typically no weight's used for that set up depending on the size of dick night you use. If anybody can give me some tips on what size Dick Nites and color and the most basic setup and technique to use those that would be great. I caught my two salmon on just pink squid jigs and pink feather jigs. Also I'm not sure whats working for catching these fish off the banks. I'm not sure if I should be jigging from the bottom or jigging more to the surface? I'm still kind of a newbie at this and want to maximize my fishing experience. If anybody is going to Thomas Eddy this weekend and would like to give me some pointers that would be greatly appreciated! Stay Safe, and fish on!

I fish from the bank all the time for pinks. A jig works just fine, just cast up current so it has time to sink. I like to let it hit bottom and 'hop' it back to the shore. You will snag a bit doing this so buy as many jigs as you can afford! The dick nite deal involves a weight with about 2-4' of line up from the weight to a triple swivel, your main line attaches to the top of the swivel and a leader runs out about 2'-4' from the center swivel to your lure. I like the 50/50's, the frog pattern or a silver with chartreuse tail, this is a lot easier from a boat but if you're careful and on the steep side of the river it can be done from the bank. Another good bank option is the buzz bombs and or a drift rig with sand shrimp! Good luck!

Thanks for all your tips guys. I was just out there today at Thomas Eddy using jigs plunking off the bottom but did n't get anything but other people were nailing them. Some were using dick nite's and some were using pink jigs like I was. Those must be some picky fish. should I be jigging fast or slow when bouncing it off the bottom.
