Not a lot to post with all the closures and restrictions we have seen this past 2 years. We have developed a new product targeting trollers for coho (when it’s open) and chinook.
It is a variation on a tube fly that can be used with a single or dual hook setup using 25-40 pound test leaders.
Visit the store to see the various selection under Salmon Trolling Flies.
To all NorthwestJigs.com STORE/Order NOW Customers,
We were down for a few days with some technical issues on the site.
Hope you are able to get orders in without difficulty now.
Summer Runs
Three’s A Crowd
Great Colors
While fishing for coho in the San Juan Islands we sometimes run into some rather ominous fishing competition. This is not a zoomed out photo, but rather a hungry and curious orca whale moving in on the coho salmon we are trolling for off San Juan island. A joy to photograph and watch………… but the fishing is usually pretty spotty after they arrive in an area.
As summer has arrived in Puget Sound we are seeing early runs of pink salmon nearly a month early. This fish grabbed a small spoon in adjacent Anacortes Wa waters this morning at first light. Northwest Jigs pink salmon lures are working well for these aggressive pink salmon. I am running specials on these lures when purchased in larger quantities. See the store for this offer.
Summer Kings have arrived
The wild steelhead have arrived on the Olympic Penisula rivers. On a recent outing here is some of what we are getting. Remember we have to hold wild fish partly in the water prior to release (WA Rules). These fish were caught on side-drifted eggs, not NW Jigs this tim
e due to high/fast water conditions.
The week of great weather continues in Puget Sound allowing the strong winter blackmouth fishing to continue. The waters of Puget Sound have been as calm as anyone could ask for this time of year. Many boaters are getting out to enjoy the excellent winter blackmouth fishing.
Small presentation continues to be the ticket for success.
