Advice to fishermen

Features of fishing. During the course of the chinook, the rivers are usually full of water and relatively turbid. Chinook salmon usually stands in holes 2–5 meters deep at the bottom. Often on top of a strong current. It is necessary to offer bait (bait, wobbler, streamer) near the muzzle at the depth of the fish. Therefore, the best lures no lighter than 30, preferably 40 grams. Colors are silvery, dull, yellow. Accordingly, the baits should be tests and rods. It is better to equip baubles in advance with strong clockwork rings and tees (Ovner, etc.). For fly fishing, you must have sinking cords of varying degrees of immersion. Optimally two-handed # 8-9.
