bkidder, I target 2 and 3 year old salmon, most of what i catch are in the 1 to 5 pound range, I fish in 10 to 30 feet of water in the spring, infact I will be fishing in prolly less than 2 weeks, you can troll with bout any type of spoon and get them, cleo's seem to be as good as any thing, you can long line or down rigger fish.
How ever my favorite way is to fish with a 11 foot noodle rod light action, with 2 pound test line and a gob of spawn on a #12 hook, i just use a 3 foot leader of 2 pound test, on top of that i use a 1/2 ounce slip sinker and drift that down the edge of the shiping channel in bout 14 to 30 feet of water.
fishing this way I get a number of diffrent types of fish, I get coho, chinnock and atlantic salmon, jacks as we call them also get some steelhead this way and steel head jacks, I also get limits of lake whitefish this way.
I do fish fall run salmon but not much, when the bigger salmon are hitting, I am spending all my time with my hounds after black bear and if I fish that time of the year I am incline to be after walleye.
if you guys need any info on some thing, just ask me and if I dont know its only a short phone call away, I know most all the good fishermen in these parts.
the ice is bad here now, I would recomend staying off the ice, or useing a airboat.
have a great day.
