Silverbrite Chum Salmon 2023
One of the noteworthy aspects of the autumn salmon season is focusing on
silver chum salmon as they migrate into the river during high tide.Occasionally we catch Coho salmon
We
took full advantage of the limited time available due to the Department
of Fisheries and Oceans’ early closure of the 2023 Chum fishery.
We do catch a lot, so we must handle the salmon so that they will
survive the catch and release. The most important thing is to use a
flat rubber web net so that the removal of scales, mucous, and abrasion
is minimal.
The Chum salmon are known as rod breakers as there is no hesitation
on them; once hooked, they power down the river using the river flow to
their advantage. We use the Amundson Outdoors Kudos Strategy X KSP13-2 casting rods.
Action: M. Fast, Lenght: 11′, Line Wt/Lb: 15-25, Piece: 2, Power: Medium

Using 25 grams floats drifting with pencil lead, 24″ leader and the BnR soft Beads and their new Burr Bead. Leaders are pre-tied and individually kept in a leader container RigRap
Yellow #8512. This allows us to re-gear quickly when we lose a leader on
snagged structures or salmon. The salmon are constantly moving, so it’s
important to be fishing as they shoot through the river. For the salmon we keep, it’s important to keep them cool and bleed them.
