I catch Pinks when they come up the river to spawn and they taste just fine. I usually use a 10 lb main line and a pink and silver spoon that entices males to attack. I caught a six pound pink in the Snohomish river.

if you tie 5 humpies on to a line and make it look like school of fish its possible you might catch something in less time the with only one of them i have not tried it yet but im sure it works.

try a small pink squid [mp14-15]27 inches behind a red flasher,trolled slow,just fast enough to rotate the flasher.

Use 10-15lb mainline then tie on a swivel 8in of 12lb leader,then tie on a 3-way swivel,then tie on 12in of 12lb line with a small pink spoon on the 2nd eye of the swivel.Then at the end of the swivel tie on 6in of 12lb line with a 4oz sinker, for Pinks in the river.
