What gear do I need to start salmon fishing in fresh water? Im going for the spinning method I think?
Posted by admin
Fresh water fishing in Ireland. What do I need to buy so I have the correct gear? Is ther a package out there for beginners? Could you direct me to any sites to read up on this? Could you give me advice from your own experience? Thanks a million.
Hello there. I live in the "Great Lakes" area of the US. I am an avid fisherman of trout and salmon. I think the first thing to consider is to match the prey of the salmon you’re targeting. Generally, spoons, spinners, and crank baits are what we use here.
As far as equipment, I’d start with a medium action rod and a equivalent reel that has a good drag. These fish are pure muscle, and if your drag is not set properly, they will snap you off frequently.
Best of luck in your fishing.

Recreational Guide: the Deerfield River
Posted by admin
Deerfield River Geography
The Deerfield River is located in Vermont and Massachusetts on the East Coast of the United States. The Deerfield River starts in Vermont, where it then flows through the state into Massachusetts, eventually joining with the Connecticut River. In all, the Deerfield River flows for 73 miles (649.7 total miles including streams of its complete watershed) from its head source in Vermont until it meets with the Connecticut. During this route, it drops about 2000 feet, starting at about 2800 feet above sea level all the way down to about 120 feet above sea level.
One of the most distinguishing facts of the Deerfield River is the many dams throughout the 73 mile length of the river. On average, there is a dam about every 7 miles on the river, making the Deerfield one of the most heavily used rivers (for electrical power purposes) in the nation. There are 10 dams in total on the Deerfield River, and they are all owned by three different utility companies. All the dams are primarily used for generating hydroelectric power that many of the towns and cities in the surrounding areas rely on for power. The natural river flow of the Deerfield has therefore been changed since the introduction of all of the dams. The dams help control foods in the basin regions and augment flow in the Deerfield River during low-flow periods. Many Deerfield River rafting outfitters and recreational facilities rely on a constant flow of water for their business survival. Even with all the dams and use of the river, 78% of the basin is still forested, and only about 3% is urbanized.
The watershed for the Deerfield river ranges from Stratton Mountain in Southern Vermont all the way to Greenfield in Massachusetts. In total, the drainage area for the Deerfield and its streams is about 655 square miles. There fore 49 lakes the come from the Deerfield watershed, and 649.7 river and stream miles in total from the river. The major tributaries of the Deerfield are the North, South East and West Branches in Vermont, the Cold, Checkley, Bear, South and Green Rivers in Massachusetts. The river is home to native and stocked trout and also Atlantic salmon.
Deerfield River History
The Deerfield River was named after the town Deerfield, MA in Franklin County. Originally, the area was inhabited by the Pocumtuck nation, with a village by the same name as the town. European colonists settled the town in 1673 and later named it Deerfield, incorporating the town in 1677. Disputes between the local natives, revolutionary war and other problems lasted through the next time period, eventually calming down and becoming a popular town for incoming immigrants.
The first dam was built on the river in 1910 when the New England Power Company formed to acquire the water rights to the Deerfield River. The largest dam on the whole river was built not too long after, in 1920. Since then, a total of 19 dams have been built on the river. The last dam was finished in the 1970’s. Since then, the dams have controlled the flow of the water through the whole river, making the river a very popular destination for tourists and wildlife enthusiasts.
Deerfield River Rafting and Recreation
The most popular activities on the Deerfield River are whitewater rafting, camping and hiking. Because of the steep descent of the river, there are plenty of short tributaries and sections of the river the offer excellent class IV – V whitewater rafting trips. Kayaking is also popular on the sections of the Deerfield River as well as the many side tributaries and large streams that stem from the river.
Fishing is also another recreational activity, with great trout and fly fishing opportunities. Atlantic salmon is also found in parts of the river.

What is the best lure for salmon fishing in a lake?
Posted by admin
This weekend I’m going to a lake stocked with Broodstock Atlantic Salmon. The DEP stocked about 150-200 of these salmon in 2007 because the water was too low in another river. I’m wondering what the best lure for catching these kind of salmon would be. The weather will be partly cloudy with a chance of showers and the temperature will be around 70 degrees. Any help will be appreciated. I choose best answer.
Well if your stuck only using lures then go for spoons with bright orange patterns and then try spinners. Salmon do not usually cruise around the water column, they are bottom dwellers in lakes. and rivers. Tapping the lure on the bottom or close to it you are more likely to attract attention. There are plenty or commercial scents available to attract Salmon but make sure you can use them. Some places you are not allowed to use bait and scent is considered a bait.
If you can use bait I would try roe. It is sold in the sporting good store in the freezer usually. Use a roe knot and 12 to 15 lb. leader.
Have fun!

The ultimate specialty knife designed solely for the paper-thin slicing of this delicate cut of fish. 32 cm (12 in.) with granton edge. When cutting an air pocket is created between the hollow edge and the slice. This prevents the food from sticking to the blade and allows for finer slices.
Boating on Lake Shasta
Posted by admin
Via the Shasta Dam’s walls was born a reservoir that was called Lake Shasta. The lake is the third biggest in California following Salton Sea and Lake Tahoe. It is roughly 500 feet deep lake, turning it into famous for boating activities such as fishing and various water sports.
For an unforgettable and pleasant holiday, travelers from south of Oregon and North Carolina would hire boats from the lake Shasta where they may spend their spare time on a unwinding environment drifting and cruising around when do fishing, read their favorite novels, or playing games. All at once, they may still take pleasure in the lovely panorama of nature around Lake Shasta such as the Pit Arm, Sacramento, and McCloud.
When you adore fishing, then numerous things are waiting for you here. In fact, some fifty thousand species of fishes are bred yearly in this lake by the Department of Game and Fish. Thus, there is a guarantee that you may catch many fish. One of the famous fish breeds at this place is the King Salmon that is 2-12 pounds in weight. But be conscious of the months of catching this kind and other breeds of fishes. For example, the King Salmon are typically often caught between March and September.
The many arms of Shasta Lake give people who are not familiar with the area the impression they are seeing several lakes as they travel Interstate 5 near Redding, California. Whether on the water or camping by the shore, Shasta Lake has a unique and inviting spirit just waiting to turn your visit into great memories.
