Salmon and steelhead seem to go through stages where they are very discerning in their tastes for bait. Some days you
can catch them using only a twist of bright colored yarn over your hook while other days it takes some imagination
and ingenuity to land one. Sometimes, the color of yarn needs to be changed. Other times, you need to try out
a variety of bait. One or two of these will give you a chuckle but they work, according to the gents out there fighting
the elements while trying to get their prize.
One of the main baits used here is cured salmon eggs (or roe). They are tied into small bundles and attached to
the hooks.
Another item used as bait is canned tuna fish. It has to be the stuff that is packed in oil, not water. It
is rolled into cheesecloth and tied to the hook. It would be pretty hard putting those little flakes on your hook.
This next item had to be something born of desperation. I have no idea how they use this unless they just put a
dollop of it on the hook and toss it in. Maybe they are using suppositories?? Guess you don't have to set your
hook, you just wait for the salmon's mouth to shrink.
