By Kevin Klein Salmon fishing has picked up a bit in the ‘Juan’s, depending on where you’re fishing. The weather has cooperated as well. Silver Horde Tailwaggers and 3” Kingfisher light spoons have been productive. We’ve also had more luck on hootchies this winter than in years past. I’ve been fishing the Lurecharge, voltage-tuned hootchies […]
A skier for almost 30 years, I have always wanted to stay at Alta Crystal Resort, the snug-looking group of cabins just 7.5 miles from Crystal Mountain Ski Resort. It only has 23-cabins and suites, is tucked in the woods at the base of Crystal Mountain Boulevard and is The resan easy 10-15 minute drive […]

By Kevin Klein Salmon fishing is fair to slow in the San Juan’s. It’s worth getting out there and giving it a try though. You never know when you could land on some nice fish. Silver Horde Kingfisher lite spoons, and Lurecharge Hootchies, behind an 11” flasher have been working for us. 48” of leader […]

By Kevin Kline Blackmouth fishing continues to be fair in the ‘Juan’s. Silver Horde 3” Kingfisher Spoon’s have been hot for us. Make sure and keep those hooks extra sharp, as spoons have a tendency to torque out of a fish’s mouth more than a bait rig or hootchie. I lost a very big fish […]
