During both my trip to the Pacific Northwest, as well as my years of fishing on Lake Erie, Ive found salmon spoons to be the most effective lure when it comes to salmon fishing. Salmon fishing can be a day of fun and relaxation, as well as a night of delicious food. So, its important to have the correct tools.Salmon spoons are often durable, high quality lures that have proven very successful over the years when it comes to attracting salmon.
