     Back on the water this morning, not wanting a repeat of yesterday we needed to change things up.
      Today there would be no bait, no bobber n jigs, just spinners! Two guys who can fish a spinner well can do some damage, you can cover water with a spinner like nothing else, no need for light leader, even in low summer conditions I run braid right to the hook I know some anglers insist on using a piece on mono as leader but I've never felt the need to.
      Today did not feel like the same river we fished yesterday, right away a chrome 5 pound steelhead slammed a #4 vibrax , after some crazy runs it spit the hook just feet from the net. A few casts later and another fish on again a chrome fish that wasn't as lucky as the first and ended up boat side. We hit several fish through out the day all of them spitting the hook, the disappointing cost of barbless hooks.
     If I had ONE lure to choose from to chase summer run steelhead, a spinner would be my only choice!
