There are three presentation for fishing spinners that I like to use, that have all proven to be fruitful. Before I describe these three methods, we need to establish several important facts. Salmon and Steelhead will attack lures at almost any speed. I have found when spinner fishing, that the slower the blade is turning, the more hookups I have. That is not to say you won't be successful with a faster presentation.
Light is another important contributor to success.
I've had a lot of hookups on bright cloudy days, or just when the sun hits the water. In order to have a spinner blade flash you must have some degree of light penetration. This factor might be the most important to consider before choosing your lure. There are many variations of spinner's on the market today. The most popular in the Fraser Valley is the colorado blade.
