Yessir. Thank you for the compliment. If you're down there again and you see me, feel free to come join me and let's get into some fish. I'm down there almost every day.
I run anywhere from 8.5ft to 10ft of leader. Usually right about 9ft. But that's for the Puyallup. The Carbon is a little different. Maybe 6ft and run a 10mm bead. You'll need to get a feel for the water wherever you go. There are a lot of spots on the carbon and most of them are different speed and depths. You'll need to adapt to wherever you are. Just remember, the fish are right above the bottom and that's where you want to be. Find a way to get there without getting caught in the rocks. If you get caught up, make a longer leader. Add more mass to you hook (bead, corky, yarn etc). They all do different things. Beads are for deeper or faster water, they sink faster. Corky's more shallow water where you don't need to go down too fast. Yarn with a bead or corky for the shallowest waters. It sinks slow enough and has enough drag in the water that you won't catch bottom thru your shallow drift, but instead travel along right where you want to be.
One thing I don't do is change my weight. Find a weight that works for the current and stick with it. Adjust your leader and bait/lure to compensate for drift conditions.
Don't use 6,8 or 10 ft leaders in the Carbon. 3-4' will work all day long. I'm getting tired of rookies coming in and filling the holes with multiple 10 ft leaders making them unfishable. Keep that garbage on the lower Puyallup.
@BilalAbdulalim-z2l above 5th St. You'll need waders just about everywhere from here on. The water is gonna go up now. That whole area was under water today.
I was down there a few weeks ago. Boy, watching you in action in person was demoralizing and inspiring at the same time. 😂 Keep dissecting that river!

ITS NEAR THE RV PARK
Can you please post some slow motion videos of what the tip of the pole looks like right before you set ?
Yes, I definitely will in all of my future videos.
5ft leader? I’m new to drifting. Would like to try out the carbon drifting corkies.

@@SlamminSalmonFishing thank you for breaking it down! Hope to land a few with that technique!

Looks like you’re on my boy Sean’s property
Definitely not, but if his property looks like that, lets go fishing.
