One needs to be totally prepared before thinking of going for fishing. You should make sure that you have everything. Before you begin your job, have everything that you are in need of. Do not forget to sharpen the hooks. These fish have thick and tougher jawlines. Those who attack them with dull hooks do not succeed in their work. You can only be successful by making use of sharp hooks.

The bait to be used should be chosen wisely. Eggs are the common baits used to catch salmon but there are several options. Use of a fish strip is gaining popularity as a salmon bait in catching the fish. Flash-trap spinners and spoon are also very good at it.

Remember to add flashes. Make sure that the baits have something that will attract the fish. Anything with some flash will tend to make them attracted to that spot. The fish will normally be attracted to the low lights. Simple flashes attract fish in the darker and deeper waters.

Color dissipates in water depending on the depth. Red color leads in the list. By fifteen feet, it will have disappeared. This means that fish will not be able to see the bait and end up biting it because it appear like it is live. Only the type of salmon known as sockeye is able to see red. This type of fish likes darkness. Therefore, you are more likely to find it in deep and darker water.

Avoid fishing during bright light like in a sunny day. Their visibility at this time is normally more than seven. Drift fishing method is the best for those fishing in these currents. This technique is done by casting the bait upstream and letting it to float down in an area that you think has the salmon. This will make your bait to seem realistic.

If the fishing is been done in the open waters, it must be on the direction of the tide. Most of the time the fish face the direction the flow is coming from and therefore will locate the bait at a distance. Be ready to catch as many as you can in the peak times. This should be an hour before and an hour after low or high tides.

As much as shouting colors are recommended, not all of them are fine to use. Yellow, orange and green should be avoided. They appear grayish once in water and the fish do not pick them readily. At a depth below fifty feet, blue, green or purple color is suitable for baits. Ultraviolet and glow lures can be utilized too. They can hold their ground in water.
