King Salmon Betsie River Fishing

The salmon run is finally here on the Betsie River! We came up for the Labor Day weekend with family and decided to extend our trip another week since the fishing was slow hoping to catch ourselves a king salmon. Good thing we did, because we were able to hook a few dozen salmon during our trip and brought some home. We are fairly new to river salmon fishing. This is our second year fishing for salmon on the river and we love it! The thrill and excitement of hooking and chasing these river monsters up and down the river is something to talk about.

On our lines, we are using slinky fishing weight to help drown the sound as it hits the bottom to avoid scaring off the fish. We found that these worked best during our time here. Okuma SST Graphite Spinning Rod with Pfleuger Supreme 40x Spinning Reel, P-Line fluorocarbon 20# test, and a trout bead 3-5" from the hook.

**We hope you enjoy our video from one of the days we were out on the river. If you're out there fishing the river, be safe and let us know by commenting below what you like to use to catch your King Salmon.
