Information on Salmon Fishing to make your fishing more Enjoyable

Lets know some important information about salmon fishing:

a. Usually the best time to go for the salmon fishing is the time when light is low and that when there are clouds then it is ideal. This so because in a bright day when the sun is out in the sky the salmons in groups assemble in holes, deep inside the water.

b. It should be noted that the salmons do not feed when they are in river. The striking behavior is learned by them. Though Salmons as we know are aggressive and predatory in nature but it is displayed when they are in lake and not in the river.

c. You should set the hook by yanking downstream with the help of your rod 3 times. If you pull on the line with the hand that is free you can get a better set. It may happen sometimes that while you are lifting the rod up the fly may be pulled out of the Salmon's mouth.

d. The hook should always be sharpen so that it can get into thick Salmon's jaws.

e. You should try fishing along with a partner. It can make your fishing enjoyable as well as both of you can spot a salmon more easily. While one of you may fish other can notice the salmon behavior sitting high on the bank's other. Here polarized glass can be of great help and you will be quite satisfied with it.

f. You should find a nice hole where you can find plenty of Salomon and fish for the entire day.

g. The length and the weight of the tipple should be so adjusted that it should fit in the holes where Salmons are there. The weight of yours shouldn't drag; instead it should only get into the bottom frequently. It should be understood that that the tippet that is 3 feet in length will set the fly 6 inches up to 2 feet off the bottom.

h. If a foam indicator is added at the top part of the fly, you will find that your fly gets more height in the water column.
