Received a report and photos from Todd F. who was fishing the 2.44" OG1 in UV-Orange on Holter Lake in Montana. They caught six bows with this lure. The largest measured 22". Really appreciate the report and photos!

Received a report and photo from Wes E. who was fishing the 2.8" OG2 for the resident coho in Washington's MA10. Wes indicates they fished from 7:30am to 9:30am this morning. Appreciate the report! One of our customers, Dan C., sent the following report and photos from a trip fishing Riffe Lake in SW Washington state: "Been useing the new 2.44 yellow glow...And have been killing it, even picked up a springer in Riffe lake and a bunch of landlocked coho and chinook." Dan: We appreciate both the report and the photos! Thank you! Received a report and photos from Dale Drogseth and his son Aaron who skipper the Ruby D charter out of Edmonds, Washington. They've been targeting the resident coho in Puget Sound with the 2.8" OG2s in UV-Green and Glow-Yellow. And, those lures are doing well!
Salmon are sensitive to UV light. And, for years, lures that glow have been effective when trolled for Kings and coho.
We sell three sizes of our OG2 in a green-glow and one size in a yellow-glow. This video shows a simple way to charge these lures in your boat: Kokanee and trout are sensitive to UV light. We just finished manufacturing a batch of 2.13" and 2.44" OG1s with plastic that reflects the UV wavelength. Below are two photos of this batch. The photo on the left is taken under normal incandescent room-lights. The photo on the right is taken under a UV-light: Decided to run a quick test of ChatGPT and see what sort of response it would give to a question about our lures and a target species. Below is the result of our exchange:
Question: What is the most effective Old Goat lure and flasher (as well as trolling speed) for coho salmon in salt water? ChatGPT said:For coho salmon in saltwater, the most effective Old Goat Lure, flasher, and trolling speed combination is: Old Goat Lure Selection
This video captures a quick trip to fish the coho in Washington's Puget Sound with a 2.8" OG2:
Had a chance to take two friends out in Washington's MA10 to chase coho. Simultaneously, the trip provided my first chance to test our 3.3" UV-pink lure. It did well--accounting for 3 of the 4 fish on Friday. In addition, tested a smaller 2.8" OG2 in the same color. (This lure isn't up on the store; but, will be soon.) This trip was the first time chasing salmon for these two fishermen. And, it was a lot of fun to see them both get their limits Friday! We only had a few hours to fish this morning; managed one nice hatchery fish. And, lost another after a solid take down. All in all, a great time on the water! The ocean-run coho are making their appearance in Washington's Puget Sound. Received a report and photo from Wes E. who was fishing MA8-2 for the coho last week. Looks like the 3.3 UV-green OG2 was the lure! (We really appreciate the report and the photos!) |
