Nice dude! Spinners are my favorite for salmon and trout but I have not tried that color! Can’t wait to get some of them ! Maybe do a video how ya swing em thru the rapids! I’ve found salmon and steelhead like a drift as opposed to trout ripping them straight down the riffles and stuff. I’d love to see you technique for salmon since they seem to fish a little differently !

Glad to see a new salmon fishing video. Was wondering how the salmon run is this year in terms of fishing as I am trying to catch my first one. I live near Toronto. You got any tips of where and when to fish for kings? How often do you catch them?

@adamg.5854

Hey, I'm from Ontario as well and fish a lot for salmon in the rivers. Toronto has some great rivers for salmon in the area. They should be running by now and will be for a bit longer. Look for any rivers that flow into Lake Ontario and they should get runs of salmon. You can find ones with the biggest runs online. Be patient, as it can be tough to get your first and you might not get one this season. Good luck!

I live in the Pacific Northwest and the fish don’t color up green like that, even the rainbow trout was green, is it because the water is warm. In Oregon the salmon do turn green and then black but it seems even the fresh fish have some weird green color to it in Michigan
