The trick is to have your reel speed set to 2 when you begin your retrieve to pull up the line slack. Now for the trick I figured out which is in the retrieve. Cast against the current and pull your rod to the left and reel with the current. Cast towards the trees as far as you can all long the opposite side river bank(red area in photo). The location is starting at the cabin, turn left and run to the last 'island' in the middle of the river.

Rig Setup: Rivertex Zeus 8'10' rod, Thunderspin 5500 reel, 35lb fluoro.( 2 ticks down from max drag) I confirmed it with 3 other players there that it works. I was trying a lot of different retrieves and baits to figure out worked best and stumbled across an amazing trick. It was my first trip there and SnaveEidde showed me a spot for them. I just figured out a trick by accident for unique and trophy chinook and coho salmon in Alaska.
