Steelhead and Salmon forum rules


  • Specific Spots: Disclosing the presence of fish in a specific pool, upstream from the mouth of any river or tributary is not permitted in the publicly viewable general discussion forum. For example, you can say "I had a great day fishing yesterday on Wilmot Creek", but we do not encourage members to say "The fish are stacked up in the pool at the CNR bridge". The latter statement should be relegated to the Tier 1 and Tier 2 reports sections, away from public view.
  • Lining Debate: "Lining", "snagging" or "flossing" fish is a hot-button topic that often ruins otherwise productive conversations. In order to keep the general discussion forum clean, helpful and productive, it is the policy of OFF that any and all "lining" conversation/debate be conducted in the "Salmonid Insanity" sub-forum.
  • Forum Etiquette: Simple - Be polite, keep it civil. All personal attacks, insults, inflammatory remarks, threats, racist remarks, trolling and otherwise rude and/or immature behaviour are strictly forbidden and will be met with disciplinary action up to and including permanent banning.

hi guys I want to try casting lures in the mouth of rivers, I am curious how you use this and if they actually works good because I never really see anyone catch anything with it when ever I go fishing, however it looks fun and I want to give it a try. I just want to know which one is better to use cleos or j 13 and how do you reel it, do you reel it slow or fast sorry guys im a noob at this I havent tried it before ehhe

You can use cleos or J13's, they both work well. Try the mouth of the Credit right now if you want to catch them on lures. The salmon are in close, so now is the time to get them on lures!

If the water is dirty, use something bright like chartreuse, orange or firetiger.

If you're using cleos, reel it just fast enough so that it has a nice wobble, but not too fast that it spins.

Cool, but I can't guarantee they'll still be at the mouth next week, especially if we get a good rain before then. 8)

Near the end of the salmon run I would say as a general rule of thumb...
