Fishing Techniques

• For Sockeye salmon

  Sockeye tend to run in deep, fast currents, so use enough weight to get your offering down to where the fish are, near the bottom.

• For Chinook salmon

  Vary your retrieve speed and depth until you find what the fish are responding to, as their preferences can change daily.

• For Coho salmon

  When fishing for Coho in rivers, focus on areas with current breaks, such as behind rocks or logs, as they often hold in these spots. Vary your retrieve speed to find what the fish are responding to.
