Techniques for Catching Chinook Salmon
® TECH KWIKFISH FO R CHINOOK SHEET TECHNIQUES FOR CATCHING CHINOOK SALMON What started over 30 years ago as a local favorite, wrapping a sardine fillet to the belly of large size Kwikfish®, is now the most widely used chinook lure on the West Coast. Kwikfish lures feature high action at all trolling speeds, while their body shape, weight, and lip design make them dive when pulled through the water. Kwikfish can be plunked, trolled or backtrolled with or without weight or in combination with a Jet Diver™. Kwikfish are available in several models ranging in length from 1-3/4 inches for trout up to 5-9/16 inches for salmon. BACKTROLLING With your boat headed upstream above the area you wish to fish, row or run your motor just fast enough to hold your craft even with the current. While holding your boat steady (as if you were anchored), let your diving plug out behind the boat. When you stop letting out line, the current will cause the lure to dive and wiggle. Backtrolling is the process of allowing your boat and trailing lure to slowly slip downstream while resisting the current enough to cause the lure to dive. Knowing that salmon will primarily be found near the bottom, water depth will determine whether you “flatline” your Kwikfish (without a diver or additional weight), or incorporate a Jet Diver or weighted ball as discussed below. FLATLINING The K14, K15 and K16 sized Kwikfish will dive from 8- to 12-feet when trolled or backtrolled on a flat line (without additional weight). -

Cheney District Fisheries Volume 9, Issue 2 Fall, 2018 District News: Cheney, Hutchinson and Wichita Fishing Hello everyone, I hope you all had a safe and fun summer fishing season! If you’re like me, you are probably looking forward to cooler temperatures, college football and hunting seasons ahead. Don’t forget that fall offers some of the best fishing opportunities of the year. Fish feeding activity increases when temperatures begin to Inside This Issue drop from their summer peak. The best part is that you may have the lake to yourself! Good luck out there! District News Cheney Reservoir Fishing Q&A New Brushpiles Paying Off Hook, Line & Sinker The Cedar trees that were placed in February 2018 are holding some big fish. KDWPT fisheries division staff sampled both sites with electrofishing for catfish in August. Numerous Blue Catfish up to 19 pounds and Flathead Catfish up to 40 pounds were sampled in each location. If you want to go after these fish, you may need to adjust you tactics somewhat. The blues are likely suspended in the upper half of the trees, and the flatheads are probably hanging out on the bottom under the trunks during the day. To target the blues, I At Right: KDWPT fisheries would suggest drifting cut shad biologists Craig Johnson and Lowell Aberson with a just over the tops of the trees, 32-inch Blue Catfish perhaps using a float to control electrofished from a the depth. For flatheads, try jigging live bait around the base of the trees; good boat brushpile site. -
Fishing Gear Gear Types
Fishery Basics – Fishing Gear Gear Types All types of fishing gear, regardless of how it might be used, are designed to lure and capture fish. Fishing gears are defined as tools used to capture marine/aquatic resources, whereas how the gear is used is the fishing method. Additionally, a single type of gear may also be used in multiple ways. Different target species require different fishing gear to effectively catch the target species. Fishing gears fall under two general categories, active gear and passive gear. Active gears are designed to chase and capture target species, while passive gears generally sit in one place allowing the target species to approach the capture device. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) further classifies fishing gear into 11 categories primarily based on how the gear are fished, we have provided detailed information about each category See Fishing Gear. To browse a partial list of fishing methods and marine zones where they might be used click here. Hook & Line Hook and line gear consist of a minimum of two parts, a hook that is attached to a monofilament line. Artificial or natural baits are used to lure fish to the hook and once the fish has bitten the hook it is hauled in. It has been suggested that the first fishing line was actually Eskimo walrus- hide line used with a harpoon (See Fishing Gear – Grappling & Wounding Gear). Hook and line gear are used to catch benthic, demersal, and pelagic fishes. Modern fishhooks come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and materials. There are two main types of hooks: J-hooks and circle hooks. -

GUIDE TO THE CLASSIFICATION OF FISHING GEAR IN THE PHILIPPINES By AGUSTIN F. UMALI, Ichthyologist Illustrations by Silas G. Duran RESEARCH REPORT 17 Fish and Wildlife Service, Albert M. Day, Director United States Department of the Interior, Oscar L. Chapman, Secretary UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE : 1950 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, United States Government Printing Office Washington 25, D. C. - Price 40 cents ABSTRACT One of the serious handicaps in the administration and manage ment of the fisheries of the Philippines has been the lack of standardized nomenclature for fishing gear. This publication attempts to solve the problem. It is divided into five parts: The first presents a basic clas sification of fishing gear; the second is a key by means of which fishing gear can be identified and new terms for fishing gear can be properly classified; the third defines and illustrates various types of fishing gear; the fourth is a tabular classification of local Filipino di alect names; and the fifth is a glossary including definitions of more than a thousand terms.

Tips for Catching Small Lake Trout
10-Dec-18 Tips for Catching Small Lake Trout The Wyoming Game and Fish Department and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources manage Flaming Gorge Reservoir (FGR) to provide fishing opportunities for a variety of anglers, the majority of which visit the reservoir to fish for Kokanee Salmon and Rainbow Trout. Kokanee and Rainbow Trout are not only prized sportfish but also the forage that helps maintain the Trophy Lake Trout population in FGR. Population surveys completed over the last three decades have shown an increase in the abundance of small Lake Trout (e.g., less than 28 inches). If the existing population of small fish is not reduced, there could be too much competition to sustain trophy Lake Trout. Angler harvest is the most viable option for reducing numbers of small Lake Trout. Once Lake Trout obtain a large enough size, they are highly-effective predators that prey heavily on Kokanee and Rainbow Trout. The predator/prey relationship must be managed to maintain balance between all species. In FGR, this relationship is on the verge of imbalance due to the increase in the number of predators, specifically Lake Trout <28 inches. When Lake Trout reach a length of 25-inches, they typically consume fish. If the existing population of small fish (< 28- inches) is not reduced, there will not be enough Kokanee or Rainbow Trout to support the Lake Trout population. Anglers are encouraged to target and harvest Lake Trout <28-inches. Small Lake Trout are delicious and provide substantial fillets when you consider the liberal limit on fish <28-inches. -

This makes gear rigging easier and more comfortable, prevents new materials being contaminated with salt water before they are used, and avoids wasting time at sea which could better be used in fishing or carrying out other tasks on the boat. -
