Wrapping up the 2026 Oak Orchard salmon season finished the four days with 36 fish .

 

Early in the morning, fish were parked 70-75 feet down. The rigs did very well with spoons and flasher flies. Flasher flies below with spoons stacked 10 foot above them. The spoon of the week definitely the green eyed ghost painted green eyed ghost on both sides from Route 18 Tackle. Both the mag size and the super mag size did well with that green eye ghost we had one that’s gonna be retired with a lot of teeth marks a lot of paint missing off of it so be it the other ones, the gold frog that did really really well ended up getting a couple more of those from Route 18 Tackle The flasher fly combo by all means was the gezzer 8 inch paddle in chrome and gold. Both of them performed very well and did well with those were 24 inches back with a atomic 42nd St. gold fly. Also people were using the hammer stud fly, but there was none available so we went with the atomic 40 second gold fly that did really well.

Meat Riggs took a couple hits, on the 300 and 400 copper. Many times we could not keep four riggers and two dipseys in the water.

In the afternoon riggers parked 70-75 and then we put them down to 110 to catch fish. The same thing with the Dipsy Dipsy’s were starting out 150 to 180 and then they ended up we had to go really deep 275 to 325 to catch fish

 

As far as location first three days did very well coming out of Port on a 330 heading water was in cold. Water was in close so we sat down 200 but mostly 250 to 320 was the hot ticket for water depth this year we did ease on out the 400 because we got pretty busy, but that didn’t didn’t bother things but again those those good fish came in at 250 to 320 foot range

Day four the winds were coming out of the north east so we had to adjust a little bit without a port on a 30 heading and that heading we went out to about 200 foot cold water was in tight so we sat down at 200 and had an amazing day probably the best day ever we had a four man box by 8:30 and again it was on a north troll there also
