Beach Journal 09/26/2018We had scouted this beach the other day and arrived to late 1 hour before slack low tide. So today was the very opposite arriving 1 hour after slack high tide. In other words the tide is started to drop. We saw no salmon jumping but we could recognize schools moving under the surface.One of the cardinal rules I tell all anglers, bring all the lures you have as today our favorite spinners did not work. Then we went to spoons including the new spoon to test out and with no results. A fly angler was able to get two. He had a small school in front of himself. He was using a blue and white small fly.Two hours later there was significant signs of salmon schooling and jumping. They were moving fast. There were times nothing showing then a jump within 20 feet and gone. Most of the salmon were long distance out so we had to go to lead lures. I favour 2 inch Zingers and we used a pink and black stripe. Turned out a good selection. We were able to change directions of our casts fast and with the strong wind often coer over 150 feet. The day ended for us with 8 coho landed all being wild and released safley.
