Veteran of the Salmon Wars: 43 kings in 2 days!
So, what’s the best lure color? Easy answer: the one that’s been all chewed off by fish! Check out this
Wordens/Yakima Bait MagLip plug that guide Bob Toman used to catch 43 kings in two days on Alaska’s Nushagak River.
Before being put into service two days prior, this thing was a pretty green/chartreuse/pink polka-dotted affair. Kinda makes you wonder about all the thought we put into lure color doesn’t it? I’ll take one that swims right any day over one with the perfect paint scheme!
There are springers in the Columbia...let the games begin!
The arrival of spring Chinook salmon in the Columbia River is one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the year in the Pacific Northwest. While it’s early yet, there are definitely some fish around, as proven by this one caught Weds near I-5 by Buzz Ramsey (r) and friend/guide Eric Linde.
They hooked a second fish, too, but it was grabbed by a marauding sea lion. Both fish were hooked using a Fish Flash (chartreuse) and plug-cut herring combination on the downstream troll.
The Master speaks Saturday
With springer season just getting started, maybe a crash course from one of the grand masters of the sport, Buzz Ramsey, is in order.
And you’re in luck! Buzz will be on hand at the Cabela’s Lacey Washington Saturday, March 5, at 2 pm, where he’ll be conducting a Spring Salmon Seminar to get you all dialed in for a productive season.

Buzz and his bull
Buzz Ramsey is probably the most recognizable salmon and steelhead angler on the planet. Normally you’ll see him in magazine articles or on TV, hoisting up some chrome monster, but the guru of graphite also knows his way around a rife as well…Ramsey just returned home from an epic moose hunt in northern B.C. where he bagged this massive 61-inch bull. His hunting partner, John Weinheimer, harvested a beautiful 55 incher on the same trip!
The guys were hunting with guide/outfitter Mike Danielson of
Little Dease Ventures. According to Ramsey, the hunting area Danielson has exclusive rights to hunt contains 3,400 square miles of wilderness — an area larger than Yellowstone National Park!
Does it live up to the hype??
Yakima Bait Co’s MagLip has been selling like hotcakes in the Pacific Northwest lately, but is that just a case of everybody rushing out to buy the newest thing on the market or does this plug actually catch fish?
Recently, we spent a couple weeks thoroughly testing the MagLip to find out. Read on for the full review.

Kinda like peanut butter & chocolate…”two great tastes that taste great together,” the herring and Spin-N-Glo rig combines two of the best all-time salmon producers into one package…and is the hottest thing going right now for Columbia River spring Chinook.
Northwest icon and fishing god, Buzz Ramsey shows us how to rig this clever springer killer over at Northwest Wild Country.
