Hi so I see alot of people using spoons for chinook with good success. But in the 5 years I've been fishing for salmon only had one come off a spoon. Looking for some advice on what depth spoons should be run at and when to use spoons with flashers and when to just run a spoon.

I just look on my finder for a solo fish and try to work my lines a couple of feet above him, it worked very well for me last year getting almost a fish per trip. But as for colours I think a watermelon spoon is just old reliable I can't count how many fish I have gotten on that spoon. Another thing is purple and orange worked well during the summer at around 80 feet of water trolling it at sixty.

I am kind of new to fishing flasher flies but have had luck on spoons, do you guys have any suggestions on colours and sizes.

also it seems like the plain spoons have been working better for the larger salmon but it could just be that my colour and sizes are wrong.

One thing that I have found is that a fifteen pound fish shaped cannonball works quite well, I started with eight pound balls and for some reason after I switched to these fifteen pounders I caught more fish. It might have been a coincidence but I haven't had a problem with the weights. They are a bit expensive but in my opinion they are worth it.
