Question:
What size steelhead/salmon leader will I need in Sept catching silver salmon?
Answer:
Our favorite leader for silver salmon fishing is a Rio Salmon Steelhead 9 foot 16lb leader. They are available as single leaders or in a 3-pack which is slightly cheaper per leader. You can match it up with Rio Salmon Steelhead Tippet in 16lb or Maxima Ultragreen in 15lb. Both are outstanding and match up well with the leader material.
