Starting on September 1st the Salmon River is restricted to bobber or spinner with a single point hook (no drift fishing or plunking). It's a relatively small river and it's usually pretty good and crowded in October. I for one only fish it during the next month or so while I wait for some rain (don't tell anyone but I landed my first fall fish last weekend above tidewater) Just look for other rigs and go join the crowds, most of the time you won't find any water worth fishing with no one there during the time you will be here.
Yes, they changed the regs on that river this year.
Why did they Change it to bobber and no drift fishing ? Are all the rivers like that noir just the salmon.. I think it's time for me to learn how to use a bobber.. Any help with that?
I guess I should also add that if you are using a 1 oz bobber you will need a 1 oz weight for it to perform correctly. You can also slide the bobber stop up and down your main line to fish different depths. I try to keep my offering about 2-3 feet off the bottom but I've seen people hook up fishing 5 feet deep in a 12 feet deep hole so you will have to play around with your depth which is the most important thing when bobber fishing.Thanks for that.. I'm going to go try it out this weekend in a river by me to practice! Man I am soooo excited to go to the coast a try for a salmon!
Sorry to keep bothering you.. where is the "Red Barn Hole" located on highway 18?
