Fishing Techniques

• 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.

• For Brown trout

  When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.

• For Rainbow trout

  Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
