"SALMONSTRUCTIONS"
 The How To....

Here is the actual Salmonstructions portion of the site. Everything you need in order to learn how to catch salmon, by category of interest, should be here.

Most of the topics covered here will be for those who are looking for help. For those just starting there are instructions on what to get for your boat, how to start salmon fishing and how to successfully catch fish.

For those of you who have already fished for salmon somewhat, hopefully there is something here you find useful.

I have tried to spell out the concepts of salmon fishing as best I can here. It is all based on my experience fishing for salmon off the southern BC coast.
