Brewster Kings
« on: July 10, 2014, 07:41:37 AM »
Anyone fish hardware up there?  I usually go with a superbait/flasher combo or a kwikfish but kinda feel like buying buying some wobblers or spinners.  Maybe I'm just reading too much about B10?

The guides I have looked at all run super bait on all their rods.  The funny thing about salmon in the Columbia is that each run and each section of river have very specific things that just outproduce everything else.

It wouldn't hurt to try, some guy was the first one to try super bait after all.

If you go up there, check the road access.  There was a fire east of Brewster last night, and Hwy 97A was closed, and the Mill Creek fire jumped the road last night.  Chelan and Douglas counties have been busy with the fires this year.
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

It is pretty funny  how that works.  One bait works the lower river, one bait works for URB's, one works in brewster.  A couple years ago I caught springers on the snake using eggs when no one else using them.  Me being from the westside didn't think twice about it. 

I really like the look of the Alvin's and FST's.  Not even sure if i can buy either over here on the dry side. 

Thanks for the heads up on the fires, I'm not going until the 24th.

Its not that the fish want that particular lure.

Its a "A guy I know limited the other day on this lure. Now 90% of the fisherman are using that lure in that area."

Lol, happens everywere.

It can be both.  When wobblers are running, you can put out herring or spinners and nothing will happen.  I have even seen where a certain color gets hammered to the exclusion of others.  Sometimes salmon can be crazy selective - other times anything with a hook seems to work.

I am quick to try alternatives when the go-to lure isn't working but I am also quick to go back.

Brewster Chinook eat brads cut plugs. I have caught the most with hot lava but other colors work too. Most chinook caught are wild because the Indians only clipped 40%

Do you have any proof of that? Also, where would these Indians be clipping these fish?

40% seems high for them.  I know it took a lawsuit for them to clip the mandated 20% that they are supposed to.

No clue about the 40% but the state and tribe just opened up a new hatchery at cheif joe. On a related note, I do know that the state will not clip some fish and called it native supplementation on the snake.

thought the colville tribe only keeps clipped chinook... They also fish with purse siens to lesson the impact on wild fish.

The Colville hatchery opened up doors last fall, and I know none of the fish returning this year could be the fish they clipped. Excluding jacks of course.

There was already a hatchery by Brewster before the new hatchery by Chief Joseph opened last year. We won't see fish from the new hatchery for at least 1 more year.

LOL, can you tell me where this hatchery is at?  If you're referring to the hatchery at Wells Dam 15 miles south of Brewster, that's a WDFW hatchery.

There is a hatchery up the Okanogan. The fry are hatched from wild fish at either the Wells hatchery or the one up the Methow. They are raised in the Similkameen Pond, that is where they are imprinted to return to.
