Can someone help me out with a picture or great explanation on how to rig something up for Salmon fishing in the rivers. Pictures of rigs anything. Corkey and Yarn, herring hooks, cheater, spin n glo to name a few I have heard around. New to this salmon thing and need some direction. Emailing me is OK also. Thanks. The board always comes through so thanks in advance.

Since you live in Auburn, stop by Auburm marine and they can help with all the set ups and you can personnaly view all of the above entioned.

You might get more help if you were more specific as to which rivers and what salmon species you want to catch. If I had to start from square one I would get three books. Drift Fishing for Steelhead, Spoon Fishing for Steelhead, both by Bill Herzog and Spinner Fishing For Steelhead Salmon and Trout by Jed Davis. Even though they are written for steelhead the information,in general, can be applied to salmon with some variations. Most of the books that I have read on river salmon fishing are 90% fishing stories that don't have much useful information past the very basics of the different rigs. Another source of good info are the tips section of river salmon guide web sites like this one or sites of gear manufacturers. The search funtion of this site is a gold mine of information. There is massive information available using google search. All that will get you part way there. The rest is getting to know your river up close and personal.

Yeah mostly looking for more in depth info on Corkey and Yarn, cheaters, and spin n glo's. I have them but don't have a clue how to use them the most effective way.
