Plug Color Selection for Salmon

By Fish with JD - What’s the best plug color for salmon? The one they’re biting…of course. Sorry — bad joke! Anyway, It’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the Kwikfish and Flatfish color choices hanging on the wall at the local tackle mart, but keep in mind that you really only need a few to cover most of the bases.

The longer I guide, the more I find that I try to keep things simplified…a fellow could go crazy worrying about all the details! So, here’s my basic color selection guidelines for fishing for river kings:

Low/Clear Water

1low-water-plugs

Dark/Stained Water

Dark Water Salmon Plugs

Cloudy Days

Cloudy day Salmon Plugs

All-Around Studs

All Purpose Salmon Plugs
