What do you know?


Dammmmmit! I forget?

As far as running diver and baits for salmon or steel, when I do this I have one thing on my mind...killin fish.

In the Fall I use mostly Jet divers in sizes 10 and 20 but will go bigger if the water dictates..most area's I fish are relatively shallow so no need to go above a 20. I run these on a mainline slider and run about a 6ft leader to my bait which most of the time is on 40 pound leaders to a team of 3/0-4/0 hooks.

Most diver Steelhead fishing I do is with Brads divers either the Standards or Mags..leaders vary in length but four or five foot works on whatever pound test you like. My hooks sizes are matched to the size bait I'm using..1/0 seems to be good.

One thing to keep in mind to help ya get more fish...don't have a low holer in the boat..keep all the line the same distance out...team work pays big in diver fishing.
