   This is a very difficult question. Where I cannot possibly go into all species and all situations, perhaps I can define what I believe will catch fish 90 percent of the time. Please keep in mind that the best lure not properly presented will not catch fish.

   Ontario is known for excellent Chinook (King) salmon fishing
   If I were to run just one lure day in and day out and consistently catch fish, it would be a flasher and fly. Flashers come in dozens of colors and sizes. The one I would select would be an 8-inch Luhr Jensen green with silver and glow tape with a green fly. The length of the leader from the flasher to the fly should be give or take 25 inches. I measure from the end of the hook to the back of the flasher. This measurement may change day to day. The length of the leader will affect the speed of the fly movement. The bigger Chinooks may require a longer leader.

   My number two choice would be two different spoons. For first light fishing I like a Fishlander ultra green glow in the easter egg color size number two. This spoon has put more fish in the cooler than any other spoon I run.

   Tight lines

   In northern michigan, we usually “line” the fish. Meaning put a hook on the line (make sure its legal size and style) with some sort of colored yarn on it, and some sinkers on the line about 18″ up, and cast it in front of the fish and let it drift down to the fish and try to work the hook into the mouth. Be careful though, “snagging” isn’t legal, the fish must take the hook into its mouth voluntarily. If you can fish the mouth of the river, you can have some success with salmon spoons, especially glow in the dark ones, just before daybreak. In the lower sections of the river, you can sometimes get them to bite on spawn sacks by drifting them just off bottom through the hole.

   Mepps spinners have worked well for years with salmon, such as the aglia in size 3 also the flying c lure works very well.

   K/O Wobbler’s are another good spoon for Salmon as well as Vibrax spinners. Blue and chrome seem to be hot colors for Lake Erie.(Although we fish primarily for Steelhead, these will work well for Salmon too.) Clown colored shallow diving Rap’s are another good minnow type lure.

   One more type lure you may want to try is a chrome Flatfish type lure. Try back-reeling it in fast water down into a nice hole that you think may be holding some fish. Hold on because they attack these hard!
