Sockeye Salmon season is upon us and thousands of anglers will be out trolling the Brewster pool on the upper Columbia River, Lake Wenatchee, and Baker Lake in pursuit of these delicious salmon.

Even on Baker Lake, I go heavier on the rod(s). Simply because as you noted, the fish are "squirrely" and you are working in a "fleet situation" with dozens of boats fishing.

Around 40 years ago, my Brother took me to Lake Wenatchee for some Sockeye. when we got set up there was only a single red hook on the line. No bait, no nothing but that single red hook. I asked him if this is really how we are going to spent our day, dragging around an empty hook, he said wait for it. Wasn't long before I was a believer. That was fun, no having to worry about bait or anything, just take the hook out of the fish and throw in back in the water.

Thanks for answering my questions. The logistics of getting out fishing are hard… so I need to do my homework to get the most out of the limited time.

Would you consider doing a video on Maxkinaw? I know you primarily focus on salmon, but looking at chasing some lake trout at Bear Lake and could use your expertise. Thanks so much for what you do for the community.

I just got my riggs tied up. Orange, florescence pink, light pink. Pink/Glow hoochies with variations of plain, smile blades, and spinner blades. I’m excited. I got the 22-24 reserved for camp but I might have to sneak in a day trip or two before that.

Hey, Tyler. I live in Gold Beach at the mouth of the Rogue River in Oregon. Our local tackle shop promotes a salmon rig 'for the lower Rogue River'. It's much more complicated than the one(s) you have shown on your channel. Question is whether rigs really need to be 'designed' for a particular location of return. I like simplicity, but would also like to catch one. Another KZfaqr has been successful with Blue Fox spinner jigs elsewhere in the state. My wife and her sister both caught nice Chinooks when we were out with a reputable guide (and friends) using a fairly complicated rig while my brother-in-law came home empty-handed. We're ready to get out there on our kayaks to see what we can do. Suggestion? Go with local or keep it simple? All the best, Tom

While trolling for sockeye we can see fish on the depth finder swimming with the gear but won’t bite no matter what we did, left or right turns, sped up or slowed down but still no takers. What would you recommend doing?

@spiltmilt Күн бұрын

Change your gear up. Try different leader lengths.

@MyExRebirth 12 күн бұрын

Tyler, I see a lot of anglers using duo locks on their leaders or before the bumper on the braid. I personally use snap swivels, but wondering if using duo locks has any advantages or specific reasons other than being a bit cheaper?

Swivels are fine.

My guess is we are passed the peaked but not by much. I def feel the fish came earlier this year due to lower flows.

It's a Shimano Trevala jigging rod but light power. Its actually a great all around salmon, tuna, and bottomfish rod. Too each their own plus its short which makes netting easy on the kayak,
