Unlike sockeye, silver salmon aggressively crush lures, smash twitching jigs, and track flies on the swing. Autumn on the Kenai Peninsula delivers heart-stopping, violent hookups.
Coho salmon rest in slower back eddies, sloughs, and tailouts after pushing through heavy mainstem currents. Once located, an entire pod can go into a feeding frenzy.
We deploy a variety of high-excitement techniques: twitching 3/8-ounce rabbit-hair jigs off the bottom, casting heavy vibrax spinners into current seams, and back-bouncing cured salmon eggs on sensitive graphite rods.
Silvers are famous for their bulldogging fight, aerial somersaults, and sudden direction changes right at the boat net.
