This is probably a really dumb question but my wife suggested that I should consider using dew worms for Salmon on my next outing. At first I laughed at the suggestion but then I thought why not. It has not occurred to me to try that because Salmon are ocean fish most of the time but they do spend some of their life cycle as smolts eating various things (I think) so worms might not be completely alien to them.

Anybody ever tried this?

Yes my buddy hooked a coho on a dewie a few years back.I do believe they feed on them in the fresh water before heading out to sea?

I have heard dew worms work very well for jack coho and sometimes the odd adult. They also work quite well for Steelhead in later months (March, April).

went out yesterday and saturday caught 4 hoes on worms, and lots of trout. Down side is bull heads, put the worms on a gold spinner and it works like magic

Worms definitely catch cohos. Sometimes they are exceptionally good especially if all the people around you are using roe.

Well this is very good to know and a cheaper alternative to roe - thanks for the info.
