Early salmon
Is May 11th too late for good salmon trolling?
Seems the soonest I can get valeted is that date...was hoping to get out sooner! At least it’s before Memorial Day! |

Yeah a lot of people think salmon fishing in the summer is crap but to be honest it’s better as the salmon have to head deeper to survive. You’re basically cutting the lake in half to hunt for them. I love early morning summer fishing!

It’s still pretty hard to beat the excitement of trolling flies on the surface for the first few weeks after ice out! There is nothing more satisfying than to fight a spring salmon on a fly rod!
|
Just curious for those who troll with flies in early season. Are you on the surface, using sinking line, or a down rigger? I am looking to give the fly rod a try this spring!

Ill take ice out thru May over July most any day. Much more challenging in the spring and agree with the above fishing the top water is a blast. Much easier on the fish as well if you are catch and release.

Sinking line
Sinking fly line with tandem hook streamers are the best. Go to AJs and he will share what’s hot! Or my way is “bright day=dark fly. Dull day=bright fly”. I’ve got the best deal in the world. My wife likes to drive the boat!

Ha ha I'm not sure she likes driving but she has no choice.....:laugh::laugh::laugh:
|
OK I'm convinced gonna hit AJs and pick up some spring salmon gear and troll the surface.

When I was a 'yout', my Dad & friend trolled the surface using 'Grey Ghosts' flies, they were always a favorite, and got the job done !
Do any folks still use these today ? |

Try a grey ghost with red beads. #4 tandem. MY FAVORITE!!
Another favorite. Winni smelt beaded |
