 HOW TO BECOME A BETTER SALMON FISHERMAN

Welcome to Salmonstructions. The purpose of this site is to serve as yet another reference aid for the west coast saltwater salmon angler. My experience in particular is off of Vancouver Island and surrounding area, including some of the mainland.

The concept here is to help. Nobody to tell you to "figure it out on your own", or "it's my secret". Any fishing knowledge of mine, or as much of anybody else's as I can, will be on here. Bottom line, I love to catch salmon, and want you to catch more!

This website has two parts. The links you see to the left, but more importantly, the Salmonstructions section. It is a guide of several webpages that have techniques, methods, help, tips and information on species, tackle, depth and so on. I have tried to spell out as much as I can on paper to help others enjoy salmon fishing as much as I do, and to try and be as successful as possible.

24 Feb 2010 Added a search Salmonstructions.com function above for easier use. Also started archiving Random Fishing Tips.
16 Feb 2010 I have altered the layout slightly so that all pages are accessible from each other. I have also started Random Fishing Tips, below. I will archive these so they are all kept for future reference.
08 Feb 2010 I jotted down a quick article on Leaving Prepared. Although there isn't much to say, I noted a couple things I do the night before and morning of to ensure I have everything.
31 Jan 2010 Uploaded my first article, Catching Chum Salmon out of Brown's Bay. I summed up a trip we took last fall to the Campbell River area and ended up with some nice Chum in the boat.

After starting work on these pages just over 3 years ago, I have finally put everything together and uploaded it to the web. I hope people find it useful. I will definitely be writing articles as I think of fishing topics/experiences to write about.

Current Random Salmon Fishing Tip

Random Tip #2

 Sharpen your hooks before each trip. The only brand I know of that sells its hooks sharp, is Gamakatsu; although there are probably others that are lazer sharpened. However, when in doubt, sharpen your hooks so they pass the 'fingernail sticky test'. A hook should stick to your fingernail when lightly touching and not slide across it. Always, always, always fish with sharpened hooks. It will increase your hookup rate for sure, and will turn strikes into more fish on the line.

Beginners:

Starting out, in the ocean, fishing for salmon, can be difficult and confusing to say the least. For those of you who are new to the saltwater fishing scene, take a look at the actual Salmonstructions portion of the site for how to get started and be successful!

Intermediate:

For those of you who have been around for a while and have the basics down, you might find sections of the Salmonstructions helpful. Otherwise I recommend you look at:

Salmon Articles Additional Tips and Information on the westcoast salmon fishery
More Westcoast Fishing Links to other useful sites and online resources
Recommended Reading Books and articles recommended to help your fishing knowledge
Tackle Tackle tips and advice, "when to use..", and recommended retailers.
Fishing Reports Local fishing reports (the ones to read), for the West Coast of BC.
Freshwater Resources For those of you looking to expand into freshwater salmon angling.

Advanced:

For those of you who have been around the block and live, eat and breathe salmon, hopefully there is something here you find useful. In all honesty, hopefully you have something to add, suggest, (article) to submit, or any other help for everyone to benefit from. The day I stop learning about fishing for salmon in the saltchuck is the day I'm dead. I welcome all suggestions or articles you would like to contribute to the site. Just email me if you would like to write something or link to us.
