Having not fished the East Coast, I'm not sure. Depends on what you're doing. I generally run #2-2/0 depending on the technique. Good luck! Well, John, that’s a complicated question!

What's the best hook size for salmon? I live in Connecticut and the DEP here regularly stocks 3 rivers and some lakes. I've never fished for salmon before (nor caught one accidentally) Thanks, John. And have great holidays! Great info! What’s the best hook size for salmon? I live in Connecticut and the DEP here regularly stocks 3 rivers and some lakes.

I'm new to fishing and never have fished for King Salmon but I wanna take full advantage of the open season on the Feather and Sacramento. Any suggestions for shoreline fisherman I heard something about using a bead and essentially snagging them but I also heard that's frowned upon. Can you please shed some light on the Central Valley Chinook From what I understand of Chinook salmon runs is once they enter freshwater their no longer feeding, so how do spinner lures and and baited hooks work?

Are you anchored, trolling down current, back trolling. Thanks for all the great info. Heard you on Sep's show a couple weeks ago and you did a great job! JD-

Diver and bait, however, is a boating technique. Instead, toss No. 5 Blue Fox spinners or drift roe. Good luck!
