By Kenya England


Fishing requires artistic skills. Knowledge on bait fixing and how to plop the line in water is not enough. Understanding the feeding characteristics of the fish is the main thing in salmon fishing. You need to know the perfect time to go fishing and the techniques to use too. You should use the right salmon fishing lures for the trip to be successful.

Lax is lured by various baits but if the fishing technique is not right then it will be hard to catch them. That is why you should understand the basic types of the lures and how to use them before embarking on the fishing trip.

Live lures have been in use since the ancient times. The merit of using such bait is that it can move on its own because it is alive. Its smell disperses in water too attracting the fish. Salmon roe is the most popular live bait in catching the fish. It is cheap to get these eggs. By the virtue of them being colorful and bright the lax loves them.

Another type of live lures is minnows. They are resourceful in catching many of the fish residing in freshwater bodies. To note is that they will only be beneficial to you if they are alive. Therefore, confirm they are not dead when you are hooking them. Sand shrimp will always deliver good outcomes when used in salmon fishing. They are expensive and hard to rig though. Nevertheless, if you have the time and money go for them.

The market is flooded with artificial baits. Silver spoon is an artificial lure available readily in the market. It has an oval hollow at the hook which flaps and flares when in water to attract the fish. Spinner bait on the hand has metallic blades which spin in water to create movements.

Cut plugs take after small fish and are rigid. They have the advantage of being adorned with many hooks. Color and luster are important features for any type of lax fishing lure. Salmons will not be found near the water surface and the lure color must be easily detected by fish in dark waters. The colors which have been confirmed to be visible at great depths include green, purple, UV and blue.

The most preferred salmon fishing approach is trolling. The bait should be moving continuously. You should keep the bait on the move and change position frequently. Otherwise, the fish will realize the trap and go into hiding. That is why fundamentals of lax angling should be at your fingertips before you go fishing.

In trolling, divers or weights are used to get the bait to a specific depth. Salmon fishing should be done near the water body bottom. Because it is always on the move, ensure the lure is in a constant move too to get the attention of salmon. When using live baits you should cast them before the fish so that they can detect the smell. If all these aspects are considered keenly then the fishing tour will not be a headache to you. You will catch them easily and the activity will be fun.
