Please pardon my ignorance, but what is the best water to target whites? I'd like to short float with roe and sometimes scented wool.

I'm sure they will be all over the river, but a guy with limited experience should target pools, slow runs, boulder runs?

Ok, I will add my ignorance to yours

Whites are white spring salmon, don't worry about the best water because they will be everywhere.

 

[HOOK]

ya not to mention they average 20-30lbs so they are easy to find LOL and there will also be Coho and Chum in the water at the same time. best time of year to have fun fishing.

Springs love the deeper water thats well oxygenated, but yes in general they will be everywhere in October.

White springs have a white colored meat.

then I think I got one last year in the fall (in the vedder), it was the end of october/first week of november, I can't remember exactly. What I remember is that I thought it was a huge chum (23 pounds)!

most chum(near spawning) will have the green/purple bars on them and the whites will go grey. VERY EASY to tell the difference. make sure you know your species when you go fishing :beerchug: also just a side note try to learn how to tell the sex so that if you dont wanna bonk one sex type you will know

biggest chum i have seen was pushing 30lbs huge and ugly as hell

 

[anthony]

I heard they like red wool !!! Gonna me a major gong show come fall time

 

[Richard Nixon]

You'll find the whites in any type of water in the fall cause they just dominate the river. They stink like rotten garlic. One upside though, if you have that guy at work thats always begging you for a fish, kill a white and give it to him, he'll never ask for a fish again! :yummy:

 

[anthony]

Merc on the board here, smoked up a nice white spring and it was damn good

They sure do smell !!! :-X

But i Like the roe you get in them !!!

 

[Richard Nixon]

I heard he had to get a new smoker after that though, the fish destroyed it!

hahahahahahahahahahaaha !!!!

 

[HOOK]

I have smoked up a couple whites before. one tip: take the skin off cause the oil in the meat gathers between the meat and skin which is pretty gross. other then that they turned out GREAT :cheers: Chum are still best for smoking though ;D

thanks hook. I am trying to learn as much as I can about them. but it is difficult when you never see the real fish but just photographs. that's why I usually ask people to tell me about the fish they catch next to me. people are usually very proud so willing to talk to me for a while about what they just hooked

It will be easier for you by looking at their tail and jaws, plus spine ... good luck.
