Cannot help with your question but I can tell you they hit casted jointed rapala's! Remember you have to change the hooks to single point barbless(siwash) work best. This is in the Ocean

We do not troll with them but cast tehm along with other lures/plugs/jigs and have a blast with them.

Bonked many a silver on a silver chartruese k-15 in t bay, amongst alot of other places ,but not a go to lure up in the rivers in my opinion.

 

The K12/U20 size works well for silvers. :smash:
We have also caught a few on the K14/M2 size.
Remember the baitwrap. :cheers:

 

Do silvers hit kwikfish & flatfish??

You betcha! Not a "go to" lure? Surely you are kidding!

I have caught them with K13's to K16's . My personal recommendation would be K13 or K15... the K14's are downright sqirrelly to tune, and the K16's are just too big for general purpose use for coho, unless of course you are fishing a run noted for 20# plus fish.

 

The answer is...... UH, yeah..... :whazzup:

 

They work on the Siletz Fall silvers, but they have to be released.......all wild over there.

The man's question was whether Coho "take" Kwikfish or not?!! And not whether you can retain Silvers in the Siletz or not!!

That's up here on the Chehalis River tidewater. :smile:
Should work as well on the Columbia R. below the mouth of the Cowlitz.

 

Thanks Slab. Eyefish I know you've caught many a salmon. Would you say kwikfish are all season lure. I've seen many peoople shy away from them as the water heats up but I believe they hit them out of anger not for feed and therefore they work at all times. Would you agree? Just thought I'd take this post in a little different direction.

Plain silver or silver/chartreuse K15 with a wrap -- killer for coho!

DISCLAIMER: I don't work for Luhr Jensen... and no, I am not Buzz Ramsey's secret lover... BUT

I can say without hesitation that if there is a biting salmon in the river, you can virtually guarantee it will hit a Kwikfish... by far the single-best river salmon fishing lure EVER invented.

It's reputation was built on chinook, but I can tell you that silvers, chums, and pinks hammer them with the same vicious, rod-flattening abandon as kings, either backtrolled or fished on anchor, and yes, all season long!. I have even caught sockeye on them, but that's about as likely as tempting a king hunkered down in a deep hole with a #14 dry fly. BTW, sockeye in Lake Washington were routinely caught on a small red Flatfish before the bare hook craze started 10 or more years ago.

U20 still works magic on lake-bound socks! Ask me how I know….

Got 2 one day on the Nestucca last fall, a big buck around 18# and a hen around 12. Both of course released as quickly as possible.

 

I've picked up a few silvers on the Columbia in past years.
Red U20 flatfish anchored up. :smash:

 

I think when the Coho are thick they would hit a trolled banana with hooks. :smash:

 

the answer is yes. two of the biggest coho we caught were on k-14's a 20 and 17 pounder. but we were going for kings.
