Salmon Fishing Lures
Posted on Jan 31, 2010 under Fishing Lures | 5 Comments
There are several ways to catch the kind of salmon you target. Some would use different fishing methods, while others would use fishing lures. As what all salmon fishing enthusiasts know, a lure is placed on the very end of the fishing line. But, what most of them did not know is that, improper placement of a lure could result to an unsatisfying day or worse no catch at all. Salmon fishing lures are supposed to be tightly connected to the end of the fishing line in order that it will not fall off from the Fishing line when thrown into the waters. It may sound so simple and obvious, but still there are people who tend to neglect it, especially the beginners.
Getting yourself salmon fishing lures is not as simple as you think. You can’t just buy and attach them securely at the end of your fishing line. It doesn’t work that way. There are certain things you have to consider in selecting the best salmon fishing lures. From the different varieties of salmon fishing lures that are available in the market today, you can tell they have different designs. The designs are based on the diverse methods of fishing, types of waters you where you will fish, types of salmon species you want to, and to different fishing poles. And because your salmon fishing lures have to vary depending on the spots where you’ll fish, the type of fish you target, and what type of fishing pole you will use, it is best that you carefully choose the ones that are designed to best suit your specific needs.
If you use salmon fishing lures instead of using bait, you’ll have greater chance of hooking your target. According to some experts in salmon fishing, the technique in which you can successfully catch salmon is to keep your lure as attractive as possible. The action and the kind of lures you use can help attract the attention of salmon. Therefore, the more potential food your lures look like, the more interested your salmon will get. Also, it is important that you know what salmon feed in order for you to choose the best salmon fishing lures. For example, if you fish in a lake where salmon feed on flies, make sure you get salmon fishing lures that look like flies. Otherwise, your target will just snob and ignore your lure.
No matter how you use every techniques you know about, it is still not enough. Your skills also have something to do with hooking your target. So to make salmon fishing more fun as ever, carefully pick out the right salmon fishing lures that will wink at your target. Choose the ones that are worth to chasing for!

Best lures/tactics for fall salmon fishing in the Great lakes?
I’m in Ontario I fish between Goderich and Owen Sound off the piers and the rivers and streams. I’ve had good luck on the little cleos and jointed rapalas. Any other lure suggestions.. I also float fish a little bit but that has proven unsuccesful for me.. Any ideas?

This is a very difficult question. Where I cannot possibly go into all species and all situations, perhaps I can define what I believe will catch fish 90 percent of the time. Please keep in mind that the best lure not properly presented will not catch fish.
Ontario is known for excellent Chinook (King) salmon fishing
If I were to run just one lure day in and day out and consistently catch fish, it would be a flasher and fly. Flashers come in dozens of colors and sizes. The one I would select would be an 8-inch Luhr Jensen green with silver and glow tape with a green fly. The length of the leader from the flasher to the fly should be give or take 25 inches. I measure from the end of the hook to the back of the flasher. This measurement may change day to day. The length of the leader will affect the speed of the fly movement. The bigger Chinooks may require a longer leader.
My number two choice would be two different spoons. For first light fishing I like a Fishlander ultra green glow in the easter egg color size number two. This spoon has put more fish in the cooler than any other spoon I run.

In northern michigan, we usually "line" the fish. Meaning put a hook on the line (make sure its legal size and style) with some sort of colored yarn on it, and some sinkers on the line about 18" up, and cast it in front of the fish and let it drift down to the fish and try to work the hook into the mouth. Be careful though, "snagging" isn’t legal, the fish must take the hook into its mouth voluntarily. If you can fish the mouth of the river, you can have some success with salmon spoons, especially glow in the dark ones, just before daybreak. In the lower sections of the river, you can sometimes get them to bite on spawn sacks by drifting them just off bottom through the hole.

Mepps spinners have worked well for years with salmon, such as the aglia in size 3 also the flying c lure works very well.

K/O Wobbler’s are another good spoon for Salmon as well as Vibrax spinners. Blue and chrome seem to be hot colors for Lake Erie.(Although we fish primarily for Steelhead, these will work well for Salmon too.) Clown colored shallow diving Rap’s are another good minnow type lure.
One more type lure you may want to try is a chrome Flatfish type lure. Try back-reeling it in fast water down into a nice hole that you think may be holding some fish. Hold on because they attack these hard!
