We run spoons behind the riggers 45-60 foot usually. We also run 25 lb mono with a 17 pound flouro leader (when running spoons).
This year it seems all fish come off the sd&echips/flies but we have had some steelies, browns, salmon hit spoons.
The spoons we run are usually NBKs in both sizes, moonshines, and dream weaver SS spoons and we have caught fish on all these spoons this year.
I also run spoons off the dipsys and have had good luck in the upper water column. 2 weeks ago we caught a nice steelie of the dream weaver SS red ice. when running spoons off the dipsys i usually will not let the diver out any further than 225 foot, targeting steelies, kohos. With the dipsys i also will run smaller size spoons.
I will say that the spoons have been a second to flies this year.
