Trolling whole anchovies is a deadly way to catch salmon in the ocean…but it’s also gaining popularity in many lakes that harbor landlocked kings and coho. Much is made about getting the “perfect” roll out of your bait. Conventional wisdom suggests you need a tighter, faster roll to attract coho and a wide, slow roll to catch kings. The bottom line is, however, a rolling bait looks interesting to salmon because it appears to be in distress. Anchovies don’t roll on in the wild, so salmon don’t have a particular action they’re looking for in a bait. Get yours rolling seductively and you’ll get bit!

Here’s what a flasher & Hootchie looks like under water. This rig is one of my favorite for landlocked kings, coho and kokanee. Always keep your hootchies (and other lures that have no action of their own) close to the dodger so that it can give your offering some enticing movement. A rule of thumb: make your leader 2 to 2 1/2 times the length of your flasher.

Sometimes, you’ve just got to get a fish’s perspective on things. Here’s what a Hot Spot Apex looks like under the surface. Damn tasty, I’d say…

Chillin’. The ice is a 1/2-foot thick; my gas-powered ice auger ought to do the trick…
