Unfortunately, many people mistake a near-spawn Chinook (King) Salmon for the famed "Ivory" or "White King". In reality, there is a massive difference. All Chinook, whether red or white, will eventually lose nutritional value and turn a mushy, pale white color. The "Tules" of the Columbia River are famous for turning to white meat, even while they are still chrome on the outside. This can be confusing, but true Ivory Kings are still fatty and oily until they get close to spawn. This is info that is good to spread with your friends - please send them this podcast to clear this up!

”Red Worms” for Steelhead by Lucas Holmgren

Steelhead are all the same right? Well...yes and no. There are two major "runs" of steelhead that are differentiated as "Ocean-maturing" and "River-maturing" meaning, some are ready to reproduce quickly upon entering the river, others enter the river with many months to go. In this episode, Lucas explains these differences, as well as the run-timings in the Columbia River as an example. They are varied, but all Steelhead are beautiful!

Steelhead & Tailouts by Bill Herzog

This episode is based off a biological paper discussing barriers to salmon and steelhead migration. Many factors, such as temperatures, turbidity and dissolved oxygen can have an affect on whether or not salmon and steelhead continue upstream on their migration. These biological aspects of salmon and steelhead are helpful to understanding the species, and can play into an anglers toolbox for understanding when &amp; where to fish. This episode is created, produced and edited by Lucas Holmgren.

JD Richey

JD Richey discusses the importance of using sinkers when flat-lining plugs in certain areas of the river. Especially important are low and slow holes with uneven bottoms. Sometimes a sinker on a dropper can get a plug like a Flatfish, Kwikfish or Maglip into the zone, and this holds true for Spring Chinook, Summer Chinook, Fall Chinook and Winter Chinook! When you can't get your flatlined plug down, consider using one of these subtle sinker methods to get in the zone, without anchoring the bottom.

Episode #3 brings two specific articles from STS 2010 and 2011, articles by Matt Straw and Neil Zundel. These articles discuss two concepts - high water steelhead fishing, and the idea of a lethargic steelhead. Winter Steelhead are both predictable and enigmatic. When the water is high and blowing out, where should you start to focus next time you fish? The rise is tough, but what about before its ultra "fishy" colored? This episode of STS Podcast deals with those, plus the idea of "lethargic steelhead." Is it a myth? Perhaps, although as the temperature decreases, steelhead can get more and more lethargic. At the same time, they can also surprise the angler. Mixed at Overkill Studios - Battle Ground WA. www.salmontroutsteelheader.com

Jeremy Wade

Jack Glass, a 30+ year veteran of the Guided Fishing community, talks about his experiences fishing for salmon, steelhead, sturgeon, walleye and smallmouth bass. Jack took River Monsters (Animal Planet) legend Jeremy Wade fishing for Sturgeon and got him his biggest fish he'd ever caught - a 9 foot sturgeon. Jack has fished for Spring Chinook, steelhead and many other species as a fishing guide out of Portland Oregon, and continues to this day to put people on fish. "It's about the experience" is his motto.

An article by Jason Brooks called "Targeting the Travel Lanes" about fishing for steelhead when rivers are on the rise or high. This method is focused on the "moving" steelhead who is headed upriver but stopping momentarily to rest. This can be very effective if timed right and can result in some of the highest numbers of the season on the right day.
