1. Generally, the best times of the
day are during the times when there is low light and so too, on cloudy days. On
bright and sunny days, salmon will usually collect and assemble deep in the
holes.
2. Take note that salmon do not
feed while in the river. When they do strike, it is a behavior that is learned.
Salmons are known to be predatory and aggressive when in the lake, up until
they go into the river.
3. Set the hook by yanking
downstream with your rod three times. To get a better set, pulling on the line
with your free hand can help. Sometimes, when you lift the rod straight up, it
will pull the fly out of the mouth of the salmon.
4. In order for the hook to go
through the thick jaws of the salmon, you should always sharpen your hooks.
5. Fishing with a partner can be
enjoyable and at the same time help each other to spot a salmon. While one is
fishing, the other can be high up on the other side of the bank observing the
reaction of the salmon and where exactly they are. Polarized glasses are very
helpful when doing this and would bring satisfying results.
6. Finding a good hole where there
are many salmon inside and you can fish there for the whole day!
7. Your weight as well as the
length of the tippet should be adjusted so that it matches the holes depth and
the depth of the fish. Your weight should not drag, but should only touch the
bottom every now and then. Note that a tippet that is three feet long will set
the fly six inches up to two feet off the bottom.
8. By adding a foam indicator at
the top of your fly, you can get your fly higher in the water column.
