Tips on freshwater river salmon fishing? I hope to try for salmon from my kayak in the lower Mokelumne, San Joaquin, and Sacramento rivers of California. Any help with when, where, how, etc. appreciated. Thanks. |

Post subject: | Let me be more specific |
Okay, I am going to pull the dunce cap firmly down around my ears, and from my stool facing the corner, respectfully ask: Where should I spend my time fishing for salmon? The rivers are big and I do not know where to concentrate my time. I intend to troll and backtroll, maybe try to bounce roe. I am not looking for specific locations, just generic descriptions of better areas of rivers to try to try. For example: straight deep runs, inside or outside bends, mid-river versus bank-hugging, etc. Can sonar be used effectively? Thanks. |

Hey Dwest. ![]() I would try Isleton, Viera's resort area and /or the Rio Vista-Brannan Island-Decker Island-Sherman Island areas. Sherman Island has a nice launch area that will get you into the mix without fighting currents right off the bat. I heard the Salmon fishing has not been too good this year but you could do Stripers,Bass,Catfish, Sturgeon and Steelhead from these areas if the Salmon was no good. So bring the kitchen sink if you go. ![]() ![]() Tight lines..let us know if you do any good out there -kepnutz- |

Post subject: | newbie's river salmon summary outline so far |
Here's my summary outline so far: Speed: Slow as possible that keeps blades of lure just turning. 1.8 to 2.1 mph Location: Inside bends. Holes – even if only few inches deeper Slots where salmon swim upriver Eddies where salmon rest Trolling path: Move from side to side to search for salmon. (and holes and slots) Technique: Keep lure within 1 foot or less of bottom Back troll or back bounce wiggle warts Gear: Rod with sensitive tip to monitor “pulse†|
