By Andy Martin The bite was like any other when a salmon strikes an anchovy or herring while trolling in a coastal bay. Tap, Tap. Slight pause. Rod buckles over. But seconds into the fight, the guy sitting in the front of my jet boat knew the salmon at the end of his line wasn’t […]
By: Bojan Zivkovic Having seen quite a few floats drop thus far I can officially say salmon season has begun in harbors, rivers and creeks of Southwestern Ontario. We have seen a significant drop in temperatures and finally got a bit of rain, which brought in a wave of staging salmon that have been hovering […]
By: Todd Daniels For the last year we’ve been hearing about expected historical low returns of coho in Puget Sound. However, the forecast was wrong and we’re seeing fishable numbers of these feisty silvers in many of our Puget Sound rivers. Fortunately for us living in the Central Puget Sound the decision was made yesterday […]
By: Kyle McClelland Having good bait is everything when salmon fishing Great Lakes tributaries. To be successful you have to prepare the eggs right every time and have a variety. Even though many anglers still fish fresh eggs or uncured eggs variety is key. Our salmon switch off and on different colors throughout the day. […]
By: Joey Usher I grew up in Southwest Pennsylvania trout and steelhead fishing and have never caught a salmon in my life. Hoping to scratch it off the bucket list a buddy and I drove seven hours to the Salmon River in Upstate New York on Sunday to try and change that. I’d heard that […]

By: Johnny Rush Trout fishing has been slower than normal on the Cumberland River late this summer. However, trout fishing should get better now that it’s going to start cooling down in Kentucky. We’ve had to work harder than we are used to, but the trout we are catching are larger than normal. The Kentucky […]
By: Joey Usher Trout fishing in the summertime in Pennsylvania is limited. There are not a lot of places that hold trout year round. I can only think of a few in the region where a trout angler can experience a quality trout fishery this time of year. To experience this I hopped in the […]
By: Kyle Deavers The skein bite has been hit or miss the past few weeks in Southeast Wisconsin. Some days we’re getting a few fish to bite in the harbors and rivers on skein. Meanwhile, warmer than normal river and harbor temperatures are keeping most of the salmon pinned to the lakefront. With the current […]
By: Steven Theel Fall salmon season is kicking off in the Northwest. On the Rogue River in Southern Oregon we’re in the middle of our salmon run. On the middle section we have a bad population of Umpqua pikeminnow’s that steal bait before it hits the bottom. To combat the problem, and be able to […]
