most of the salmon on opening weekend will be caught on 2 types of baits...cutplug herring or 4" coyotes.
for the spoons i always use a color combo that includes green, but i dont know that color makes much difference, there are a lot of fish out there right now so you dont have to get too technical about the little details yet. also, make sure you use a dodger or flasher if you troll spoons, if you go with herring you dont need it but you can use it if you want. hootchies should work too but i never see them in area 11 for some reason
