Haven't tried it this year, but a couple of years ago the worms were the only thing that I had left to try, and to my surprise the worked pretty darn good.  You have to do a slow retrieve and give them a few tugs every couple of spins on the real but they will work.  I hooked four in about a half hr.  But that was 2 years ago who know about this year!!!!!

Pink worms works pretty good.  I used to use it a lot.

in my opinion fly fishing for pinks out produces gear in clearwater rivers 10 to 1

You should come to where i fish every day i see the fly fishermen strugling changing up flies trying everything ionno they should try dry flies cuz the pinks are allways jumping or hitting something on the top.

In clearer water smaller is better and I think sometimes thats why they hit the fly more often. I myself would prefer to flyfish than anything else any day of the week. Flyfishing is more of an art form and it takes allot of practice to do it with efficiency.

I hear yeah eddie99,, Was at the Vedder today,, and got skunked.   Very tough fly fishing for me right now.  Only guys I saw taking anything were gear fisherman with roe.  Jury is still out if they were flossing them.   I tried various flies.  Small pink ones,, greenish ones,,ect,,,,,,,,,,nothing.    Gin clear water............. Still,nothing beats salmon on the fly.

flossing on the vedder what the play? with a float? i hardly see how that is possible unless they are doing the just a lead and a hook method. I dont see how you can floss when everything you present with a float is suspended vertically and plz no turning this into a flossing debate i need pink worm info!

In my opinion flys work great for pinks in clear rivers.  I was over at the campbell earlier this year and could not buy a pink on gear, but I slayed them on flys.

yesterday I did well in the upper Fraser with a #2 pink bunny fly.  Landed 13 ( 4-5 fould hooked though).  But in the upper fraser I think Floaters jigs are perhaps the real deal.  Two years ago in the same spot I hammered the pinks with pink jigs.
