There have been more than 8000 Steelhead going over Bonneville Dam lately... a friend did really well early last week (before the heat) and we had to try again...
Look at these beauties! I don't see any adipose fins, either!

The hot temperatures has really induced lock-jaw on the fish, though. Not many people reporting success...
We even pulled out the secret weapons - never before shown on the internet! Here is a sweet, custom spinner we like - note the double blades! The last 'bead' is actually a small corkie to help lift and keep the second blade spinning...

Another secret is to add a small pink work to the spin-n-glo. The worms are a favorite for fishing the smaller rivers like the Wilson, and seem to help on the Big C, too. That is if the fish feel like biting!
The red Tiger-strip is a favorite Steel-face color, too. Shh!

Oh well, no fish this time either. At least the sun was out, the water warm, and the sand comfy... you can't call it a bad day!
