Field Notes

Use this streamer when salmon are keying on small baitfish like dace and smelt. It is a good choice for swinging, stripping, or dead-drifting in rivers and lakes where landlocked salmon feed on minnows.

Pros

  • Realistic baitfish profile for salmon feeding on minnows
  • Versatile presentation options
  • Effective in both rivers and lakes

Cons

  • Not ideal when fish are focused on insects
  • May be less effective in very clear, pressured water without subtle presentation
