Make sure you have your salmon fishing tackle and boat prepared before hitting the water! Salmon fishing rods should be rigged before hand, as well as salmon flies and other lures tied before launch! Make sure batteries and fuel are sufficient the day before a salmon fishing trip.
Salmon Fishing Rule #2
Tides are everything when salmon fishing! Pay attention to whats going on with the tides. The best tides for salmon fishing are tides that produce a 3′ to 6′ change.
Salmon Fishing Rule #3
As with any type of fishing, while salmon fishing fish hard during peak times! Before and after tide changes, early morning and late evening are generally peak salmon fishing times. Don’t preoccupy yourself with other things during these periods, be prepared to fish and fish hard!

Salmon will almost always be faced toward the tides flow, so fish with the tide or across it this will kep you bait in the salmons face!
Salmon Fishing Rule #6
Always go with what is working, fish areas that you have been catching salmon, or areas that you know that salmon are being caught!

Do not only fish where the salmon are being caught! Its much better fishing solo for a few salmon, as opposed to fishing next to 100 anglers for a few hundred.
Salmon Fishing Rule #8
In the begining, you first salmon fishing trips learn to fish a few areas well then begin to expand your horizons. Im not saying dont explore, but focus on a few areas specifically and learn how to pull salmon out them, then get bold and start swinging your weight and your experience around!
Salmon Fishing Rule #9
When salmon fishing use baits that combine flash, sound and sight. Also try adding scents to your lures.
Salmon Fishing Rule #10
Colors are key when salmon fishing. Always play around with different colors! If your going deep try using blues, greens and purples.

Salmon Fishing Rule #12
Like all other types of fishing you are preparing for, for god sakes sharpen your hooks and keep them sharp! Don’t be a fishing fool, trust me youll kick yourself in the but if you don’t!
