Best Trolling Lure For Salmon?

[river_bouy]

Hi Guys,

I was interested in trolling lures for salmon. Was wanting to troll around with a lure out while looking out for any surface action.

I was thinking of using a small fly tied about a foot to a meter behind a small metal lure. I think I would need the metal to add a bit of weight. Do you think this would be possible/effective?

Thanks in advance

I use all rounders in metals size 7g - 25g for casting / fast trolling

in blue and silver or silver

or cd7 magnum for slow trolling

These work very well, or a homemade eye-fly off a bubble float if the are eating those megalops things

But if they are hungry and feeding on baitfish any metal lure will work, i use the all rounders as they are

available from 5g to 120g and all have the same action so its easy to swap around to match the hatch

Rapala CD-7s and CD-9s are my favourites for trolling, particularly in the pilchard pattern.
