Title: Nooksack River Fishing
Post by: Bigshootero1 on October 18, 2013, 10:49:18 PM
Been fishing in Ferndale the past few days on the Nooksack River and have seen close to 100 fish roll in the evening right before dark. Only had a few strikes drifting eggs and lost a nice Coho right at the shoreline today on a Steele Spoon. Anyone got any ideas of other good lures to use or techniques to try.

Find the back eddys, use a blue fox spinner in colors of silver and blue or silver and red. Than wrap a piece of sand shrimp, prawns work too but i liked to dye them to a orange'ish color, around the hook. Best way to fish silvers in a river :twocents:

Fished the nutsack today and yesterday, #5 vibrax in chartruese or  orange with silver blade in the frog water cast upstream and slow reel in,there is no doubt when you get a strike because they are on like donkey kong. Caught 7 silvers  and a steelhead today  with a combo of braxes or  corky/ eggs further upstream.
