Salmon Fishing Lures – The Key To Fishing Success
from:Choosing the correct salmon fishing lures for the time of year, water conditions and feeding behaviors of the salmon will enhance the possibility of landing that trophy salmon or just bringing home enough for dinner. There are some basic strategies or tips for choosing the right one of the many different salmon fishing lures on the market today. Salt water fishing lures are different that fresh water salmon fishing lures, and tend to be used when trolling rather than other methods of fishing.
Northwest
There are also some differences in the popularity of salmon fishing lures depending on what area of the country that anglers are fishing. In the Northwest area spinners are very popular, with many different colors and sizes available. Spinners have a flat metal disk, usually painted red, white, yellow or green or a pattern, which is closes to the line, followed by a brightly colored body, then the hook which is unweighted to give a floating appearance as it spins through the water. The body of the spinner may have bright colored beads that also reflect light and provide both sound and motion as the lure moves through the water.
Bait and scent may be added to the spinner to provide additional attraction, especially in cloudy or murky water or in darker fishing conditions such as heavy cloud or early dawn fishing.
Ocean and Great Lakes
Spoons are used in various types of fishing, especially in cases where the salmon are actively feeding and are moving and feeding with schools of bait fish. Spoons are typically brightly colored and Spoons are typically very popular with larger salmon and the key to using spoon’s as salmon fishing lures is to ensure that the spoon is moving through the water in the same fashion that the bait fish are. Salmon that are aggressively feeding will not need additional scent or bait, they will simply hit on the movement of the spoon through the water.
Rivers
Plugs and Rapala type salmon fishing lures are idea for rivers and mouth of the river fishing. These lures are thick, bait looking lures with a series of hooks. They are often used with scent or bait, but the again the action of the plug in the murky water or moving water is the biggest attracter for the fish.
Further up rivers where the water is clear and very fast moving small plugs or Wiggle Warts can provide a high level of movement in the water, attracting the hungry salmon as lure literally wiggles through the water. Typically these salmon fishing lures will be brightly colored in reds, silvers, golds, blues, greens and yellows. The key to fishing with the various types of river lures is to keep the lure close to the bottom of the stream, moving it against the current and the direction that the salmon are swimming. The movement of the lure will often cause the fish to strike, even if they are not feeding.
