All about salmon the freshwater fish targeted for by fishing.
Salmon The salmon is the king of fresh-water fish. It is handsome in form, its head is small, its nose pointed, its back and sides grey, the belly silvery, and its flesh the well-known salmon-colour. The female may be distinguished by having a longer snout than the male fish. Salmon Active Salmon bite best from six till eleven in the forenoon, and from three in the afternoon until sunset, especially when there is a moderate breeze upon the water. The chief months to angle for them are March, April May, and June. Baits for Salmon They are to be fished for with lob-worms or minnows, but a large artificial fly is the most killing bait. The rod should not be less than fifteen feet long, with a good running line, and the reel should contain at least threescore yards. The hook must be large and long in the shank, with a very small one fixed above at nearly the distance of the length of the fish baited with. In fishing for salmon with lob-worms the trolling tackle is to be used, and two of these worms well scoured put upon the hooks.
