***Early August Salmon Run Confirmed***

Fyi
moonshine spoons hold the best charge. Too bright sometimes.
Sail has them only thing is they are expensive and not heavy enough for a decent cast.

uv lights can be bought at home depot.

^This^ If you want great distance and charge get your hands on some Pete spoons.

A good quality flashlight with high lumens will do the trick. Costco has two flashlights for $20 with 220lumens that lights spoons up amazingly well. I fished with a guy on the piers who was using it, vs my 90lumen flashlight and his lasted longer and was much brighter.

Imo
Brighter spoons lures spook more fish than not.
i usually get a hit when the spoon looses its brightness.

Hey Pump,

What kind of paint and where did you buy it? It looks like it is a transparent coating rather than a paint (which is good). Is the glow bright enough? I am yet to get a glow spoon that is bright enough to see from say 40ft.

I buy my glow paint at Micheals for 4$ and it works pretty well. They also have neon colors that glow under uv light but I think that's a little outside the box!

Steelhead101- By consistent, I'm talking within a couple of weeks.

FF---There may be less variation than that. I checked the on-line data and the start of the salmon run on the Beaver seems to start a day or 2 around Aug 12.

would say at a minimum an easy 35 :mrgreen:

FF's catch "surfacing" after he "tired it out" in the middle of the channel. Prob close to 5000lbs although we couldn't weigh her because she snapped off. Atleast I ran after him and got an action shot!!

Well I caught one of those last year...it was a bit smaller than that. Funny because I didn't even aim at it.

 

[BowSlayer]

Lmao ftw!!

I always seem to miss the runs because asking other fishermen always results in "last week" or "yesterday was amazing!". lol.

Send me a text when you see this. I lost your number (new phone) we'll get you out swinging this year.

Boots are good practice, no matter what anyone says.

 

[goodentight]

I agree with Jay,

Even though I just bought a new pin, I told my self when I outfitted my fly in November I was going to catch a king on it this year. I just tied "egg flies" , I am going to call them clumps of yarn flies though. rofl.

 

[instapump416]

Haha... I caught one of those when I was kid.

I remember yelling FISH ON!!

I was so excited until I realized I was caught on a boat.
