Tie Your Own Spinner Rigs For Blueback

If you’re looking for some fishing in the river until good numbers of Chinook show, look no further than Searun cutthroat trout, or Blueback. Right now there are plenty around, they’re aggressive and great to eat. Local fish expert Lynn Hood tells me folks are doing very well in the vicinity of C&D Dock, but fish are available from Mapleton down (and probably above if you know where to look).

Spinners Are Popular
Running into Hood at The Riverview Market was inspirational. He was tying up a spinner for Blueback that looked very simple and effective. It reminded me of the anchovy spinners used at the mouth of the Rogue River for Fall Chinook. The big differences are that you don’t need a treble hook, and you don’t need heavy leader. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
10-12 lb. leader. I thought about this one a lot. Some guys would say that this is too heavy for Blueback. It’s true – it is more than you need. But here’s why I say use it – if something much larger grabs your spinner, you want to have at least a fighting chance of landing it.
An assortment of 4-6 mm beads. Look for different colors such as orange, green, blue, chartreuse, yellow and red. Get some beads in each 4, 5 and 6 mm if you can find them. If you need help finding bead sources give me a call and I can point you in the right direction.
Plastic clevises. A lot of folks use wire or metal clevises and that’s fine. Let me tell you why I use the plastic – because you can change spinner blades quickly. Simply snap one off and put on another. And rarely do you lose a blade (unless you lose the whole spinner).
An assortment of #3 and #4 Colorado spinner blades. Try some of these popular colors: silver, brass, copper, and some painted blades (green, fluorescent orange, blue, etc.). There are many different finishes available. Again – if you need some help – I can tell you where to get started.
Baitholder hooks. These hooks have a long, straight shank that has barbs to help hold a nightcrawler on the hook. Experiment with different sizes to get what you like, but I often use something between a #1 and #4. Gamakatsu makes a very good Baitholder hook that’s sticky sharp out of the package and stays that way.

Very Simple, Very Easy
On approximately 36” of leader, tie on the hook, add 3 of the large beads, 3 of the medium beads, and 2 of the small beads. Add the clevis. Add the blade to the clevis. It doesn’t get any easier. On the river, add ½ nightcrawler and troll your spinner behind a Ford Fender™ or Cow Bell™. Don’t forget to use a small trolling rudder to keep your rig from twisting up.

The Blueback are in, so if you’re not catching switch colors, blades and location until you find the formula that works.


See you on the water,

The easiest way to stop a perilous predicament will be to not get during the risky
condition. The concept is traced to the Northern League chief through the battle he was struck by some birds that were resting on indicators Lombard earning perception the
victory. Grandmaster Pat Burleson was instructing a somewhat smart mouthed
scholar some system as well as the scholar appeared to be performing like he didn't really want to discover his technique from this 'old man' who just took place to get the 1st Intercontinental Karate Champion while in the Environment.

Touchscan is the twin of OBD Wiz according to the company help.
So this had to be an OBD I car or truck with an ALCL diagnostic connector
and not an OBD II connector.

When I look at your website in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.

Hi there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for
this website? I'm getting tired of Wordpress because
I've had issues with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform.
I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good
platform.
