9/21/2016 9:22:00 AMNice fish, thanks for adding the pics. I went out and trolled the same area with a dodger/wiggle hoochie and jigged with buzz bombs from 330 to 630 last night and got nothing. Kind of windy but I didn't see anyone else pulling in fish.
I did see a guy land a huge King at the boat launch in Kenmore when I came in.

9/23/2016 12:03:00 PMany tips for a couple of lady fisher folk. We have never fished for Salmon. I have some flashers dodgers. but honestly not sure on weight. leader length. I have various lures. but I wondering do people use scent? Is that allowed? or bait? or just lures? I am not finding any specifics searching the rules. I hope you know or someone does.

9/23/2016 4:57:00 PMHello Heather. will you be fishing from a boat or bank fishing the rivers/Lakes?
and People do use cents I used hearing oil on this occasion.
as for leader length it varies(2-5ft depending on the application) but fluorocarbon always helps. for trolling a wiggle wart like the one in the picture you would just tie it to your leader/mainline and bring it down to depth with a down rigger(the fish will tell you what depth you want)
as for the rules look in here http://wdfw.wa.gov/publications/01818/wdfw01818.pdf Page 82
To MY understanding. cents are okay,baits are okay,lures are okay,
