I'm fishing for salmon and I'll see 20 in a pool, I cast for hour and not one touches my mepps, is it the bait I'm using or what?? The only fish I'm catching are 4inches long lol

If you can see them, they can see you.

It's the bait.  You're doing it wrong OP.

Check out steelheader.net.  It explains spinners and spoons for steelhead.  It is west-coast, but the tactics for hardware work here too.

most these guys are partially right, fishing for fish you can't see gives you an advantage. but main reason they are not hitting your mepps, is because it resembles food. they mainly hit things that agitate them and bother them, if you look at most of lures that work for river salmon, are either fire tiger pattern or fluorescent colours or something with wide wobble(kwikfish/flatfish) even hot n tot, that doesn't look like any bait fish. i catch any salmon that sees me all day. key is to get them to snap and bite your bait. spoons and spinner more or less resemble food, and they are not there to eat. they are there to protect the redd and fend off things that might cause threat to their spawn.
