Planning to troll for Salmon in Duwamish River in WA.
The river is about max 20′ deep (avg 14′) with slow currents.
We mostly see Sockeye (10lb max) and Coho Salmon (20 lb) here.
Does this setup look good for this application?
Following Trolling setup outlined here: https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/basics/salmon/freshwater
1. Main line: 20 lb mono attached to 3-way swivel.
2. Leader: 20 lb. mono 10′ length (to keep away from motor) on other end of swivel.
3. Sinker/Dropper line: 12lbs with 4 oz weight. 2′ length on other end of swivel.
4. Lure Setup on leader: 4/0 size (4” in length) dicknite dodger + #2 size Weddingring(comes with #6 hook) + Gulp waxies bait.
Will try to keep leader (with lure) setup 2-3′ above river bottom when trolling at 1.5-2.0 mph upstream.
Does the lure/bait and line setup look good for above species?
