here's another wondering of mine... it seems that when the fish are jumping and rolling they are not really biting. is that my imagination?
ok i have been doing some reading and thinking- yep i have a headache now. ok so i tried the Salmon river yesterday down at mile marker 9 and caught my limit of bullheads... whoopie, also saw a guy catch a wild coho.
what i am wondering is this... if i absoutely positively need to catcha salmon, where would my odds be the greatest- i am finally accepting the fact that the Salmon river is not the best place (just closest to me).
any and all help is appreciated.
How desperate is desperate? Does quality of fish count? Or just the fight?
I'm sure Trout bassier knows a spot that you could get a fish!
Do you have a boat? If you got a boat you can go get a salmon right now!
I'd try plunking on the Columbia.
i tend to fish either with corkies or with bait on a bobber. was using a 1 oz with sanshrimp running about 7' deep. i intend to try spinners and spoons later in the week- as the river is all of 15 minutes from me its not a burden to run out there when the mood strikes. i am pretty familiar with the area i go to. there have been some changes that i need to figure out, but the corner still seems to be the spot.

It really all depands on how they are jumping. If they are full on air born then they are displaying a behavior where they are not biting. If they are "slashing" at the surface that is a fish I am going to target. It is still early yet, and the water temps are fairly warm. I would certainly stick with hardware right now. after some rain and the full moon tides with things cooling off abit the fish will show. If you have access to a boat there are fish in on the Siletz from Chinook bend to Ballard acres. For the moment I would focus my attentions there.
