[pct-l] fishing the pct

[eyakel at earthlink.net (Eric Yakel)]

I have always had really good luck with small gold panther martin spinners.
Catch plenty on flies also but spinners work the best, especially in the
streams.  Note, I have fished with the spinners and a couple of weights on
the lines even when the early season streams are whitewater.  I can't see
the fish, but apparently they can see the spinners, because I have caught
them in the whitewater too.  E.Y.
