I can't help much on the spring fishing. But I can tell you during the fall it's hit and miss sometimes. A good thing to do before leaving is to be sure there will be lots of salmon where you're fishing and that they will be within casting range. Most guys throw spoons for them, but certain Rapala's can work even better. The right color is also important. When fishing crankbaits I like to go natural in clear water and bright orange in murky water. I find they don't like chasing bright colors in water with lots of clarity. But these are just theories btw I wish you luck
thats cool I appreciate the response and as far as the timing aspect of when to go fishing ive kinda realized the hard way about that and i kinda had feeling but wasnt to sure
about the colour spoons i was using but ive been slowly building up my arsenal over the winter so lets see what happens this year.
