Anchovy Streamer, is a successful baitfish imitation for Pacific Salmon that comes from the book Fishing For Pacific Salmon by Bruce Ferguson, Les Johnson, and Pat Trotter, and attributed to Dennis Leee of Eureka, California. Northern Anchovy are metalic bluish green on the dorsal area and silver on the sides and belly. The fish spawn in inlets or in off-shore surface waters, and so are an important food source for Coho and Chinook salmon.
