salmon run tips, from the basics to the ones that you may not even think about

(Doing this due to my “not so basic salmon run tips” being filled with people reblogging with basic salmon run tips. yes. I an petty)

BASICS

Ink the wall, please. Ink the wall. Ink any sort of vertical surface

Lure the bosses that follow you, please. Don’t splat the scrapper/steelhead/maws at the shore

High DPS and long ranged weapons for the steelhead.

use the big shot canon.

during fog, make sure to stay 2 by 2

ink a lot

use weapons like blasters, brushes, and rollers for the fish sticks

use the slammin’ lid against other enemies. Please, just do it

NOT REALLY BASIC BUT I AM SHOCKED PEOPLE DONT DO IT!

Move! Staying in one place will make you a target for enemies that target those further away (stinger, fly fish)

the follow point 2.1, DO NOT EGG HOARD. You can throw the eggs closer to the basket

USE YOUR SPECIAL I AM BEGGING YOU IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO USE IT! YOU DONT KNOW HOW MANY GAMES I HAVE LOST BECAUSE SOMEONE DIDNT USE THEIR SPECIAL

Heal your teammates.

use your bombs

If you are close to beating the shift, and you’re the only one left. And you have the ability to either save your teammates or get the eggs into the basket. THROW THE EGGS INTO THE BASKET

yes, you are very profresh if you do this

Use your bomb against the steel eels ribs as a projectile

Instead of this way spamming. You show how to do things in the better way.

uhh… TBA

quick Splatoon 3 question

I used the Nintendo online free trial (bc I’m not paying for memberships until I can get a job) and put all the time I could into splat3, and I want to know what you think of me based on my gear and main. (+some other tidbits)

in turf war I used to main dynamo roller before switching to E-liter 4K Scope (got it before level 27 btw)

in salmon run I reached profreshional +1 as my highest ever rank, however towards the end I got demoted back to profreshional. I beat the first salmonoid king, but couldn’t beat Horrorboros. I survived a glow flies round tho

when I saw a fly fish I always threw bombs at it, when was is a steel eel, I always checked if I was its target (by scaling walls to see if its path changed), if I had a charger, I’d use the pole from fish sticks as a perch to snipe steelhead, I used big shot’s launcher to launch eggs to the basket’s rough area, and I tried my best to make sure we met quota

my favourite turf wars arena is Inkblot Art Academy, and my favourite salmon run arena is bonerattle arena

This is my gear, what do you think

[catcake24]

Ughhhhh I came up with this kind of dumb Splatoon AU DLC thing which is basically a rip off of Octo expansion but it refuses to leave my brain so here’s the basics: Salmonlings being scienced into existence and going through levels to try and be able to leave for the city by sinister group.

There’s a fan concept of Salmonlings, which are basically humanoid versions of Salmonids which also have a swim form but tend to be more xeno in design than Inklings or Octolings.

Salmonlings here are a science experiment gone wrong, where some scientists tried experimenting on Salmonid eggs to create extremely tough monsters. However, this ended up creating Salmonlings by combining Inkling CNA with Salmonid.

Salmonlings can swim in water, unlike Inklings, but loose their main Salmonid form in favour of something…. Fresher. Their swim form is more in line with the appearance of inklings and Octolings swim forms, and they’re able to take on ink like them.

They also can be splatted by enemy ink, as their skin may be able to resist water but can’t handle too much enemy ink.

The dlc follows some of these experiments soon after they emerge from their test tube, being tested for mental and physical capabilities. (Somewhat similar to Octo Expansion or Alterna format). The Salmonlings are promised that if they complete all the tests, they’ll be able to leave the facility; and are then dropped into their hub area which is a barracks/common area for the Salmonlings.

Ideas

- The whole vibe of this dlc is kind of grimy and inspired by the sea a lot more directly - with the music themed after rock and roll, and everything being a little dirty. There are fishing nets everywhere, dark spots on the walls and floors, and water is leaking in from the ceiling.

- The vibe is also supposed to invoke how the Grizz Co hub area feels like, with oranges and greens everywhere.

- The person who takes you in your tests is also a pre-recorded and distorted voice coming through a radio, though it isn’t Mr grizz.

- Salmonlings come out in batches, the batch with the protagonist (and most recent batch) is batch 10 also known as Iota (each batch is given a Greek numeral nickname)

- Other batches of Salmonlings are there, as far back as batch 6 (or Digamma) However, if you are unable to pass their tests in an amount of time, or flunk out, you’re assigned to work in the underground facilities of this place.

- Salmonlings are different from salmonids for many reasons, but Salmonids can somehow tell they are somewhat kin so they don’t attack Salmonlings and even help them on occasion if the situation permits it.

- At the end of every level, there is a pin that can be collected and has a description which reveals a small bit of lore or the feelings of the protagonist through the description. Example: This depicts a Salmon, which were the ancestor to Salmonids. Could they still swim across the seas?

- Every boss level, which there are 5 of them, has a gold pin which is added to the protagonist’s backpack.

- Each boss is a powered up Boss Salmonid: one is a Steelhead with multiple exploding sacks instead of just one, another is a rainmaker and fly fish combo, etc.

- Each test happens on the surface on some kind of shoreline, and the enemies being fought are robot duplicates of the octarian enemies we are familiar with (they don’t resemble them in appearance, they just act like the general enemies).

- One of the other Salmonlings is an npc named Kipper. She acts as an upgrade station, she can sneak in additions to your main weapon and extra sub weapons you can equip to your character. To upgrade you need to collect power eggs from the tests themselves

- As you progress, you have conversations with Kipper about how little we actually know about this, and why they were brought into existence at all. Over time, she becomes basically a big sister to the protagonist and is proud of them when they succeed.

——

When the Protagonist completes all the tests, they are led into a chamber and is almost forced into a weird machine before Kipper comes to rescue them. She reveals that she was suspicious of these tests, and came to our aid as soon as she could and that they have mind controlled a ton of other Salmonlings and made the others work on weapons.

To escape the protagonist needs to go through these weapon facilities, showing they are making war machines and the robotic enemies try and stop the protagonist, as Kipper guides them out of this facility with other Salmonlings escaping behind us (not viewable on screen, but shown in cutscenes after finishing a segment).

After they get out, the Salmonlings are attacked by Lil’ Judd in a huge Mech suit.

He reveals that this whole thing was, of course, a front to make Salmonling soldiers for Lil’ Judd. After he took over Grizz Co, he decided he wanted to start selling golden eggs to other groups. One group of amoral scientists wanted to experiment with them, and Lil Judd agreed to it and oversaw the project. Once he realized how tough the Salmonlings were, he concocted a plan to take over Inkadia by force to permanently upstage his brother who won on the inkling’s side of a war.

Now he’s prepared to attack the escaped Salmonlings, and they quickly take cover. Kipper then rallies the escapees for one last charge against Lil’ Judd, and she will sing the song from her dreams as hard as she can to help them despite her own weakness. She sings a melody not familiar to the Salmonlings, but familiar to us players - the Calamari Inkantation Solo Remix.

Lil Judd summons a bunch of Enemy Salmonlings, and the player has to fight them in four total waves with more and more coming each time. (One optional idea I had but I wasn’t sure was even realistic was having three other Salmonling AI fight alongside you. On one hand it would be a cool subversion of fighting the rivals in splatoon, on the other it would be hard to make balanced or fun in an actual game.)

After the waves are defeated, Lil Judd throws the Salmonlings off himself and boasts that even if his army could be defeated, he won’t be going down!

Then a heavy base comes from the distance, and a twinkle in the sky is then revealed to be DJ Octavio crashing in with Neo Agent 3 and Agent 8 riding on his Mech. Octavio reveals they were brought here once they heard the echoes of the heavenly melody. Neo 3 and 8 handle the army now, and Kipper volunteers us to go and help pilot the Mech to fight Lil’ Judd. We do in an epic Mech fight, with DJ Octavio remixing the solo Inkantation as they fight, and end up winning in a fade to white.

In the ending, the rest of the Squidbeak Splatoon catch-up and decide to help settle the wayward Salmonlings in Inkopolis. The credits roll as the protagonist and Kipper look out at the landscape outside as they travel towards Inkopolis in a bus ending with them leaving and the protagonist giving a small wave before leaving the bus.

In my dreams this would also open up a new area to explore, called Inkadia Harbour which is located next to the sea where the Salmonlings decide to settle in due to how close to the water it is. The player would then be rewarded with being able to play a Salmonling in the game.

And there it is. It’s just a bunch of basic ideas for story and themes, but it appeals to me as something I made up in my head. Now you have to struggle with this not being real too.

Good reasons to rush the shoreline: There is a -Stinger -Big shot -Fly fish -Slammin lid

Bad reasons to rush the shore for the love of god just lure it to the egg basket you could mess up the entire wave PLEASE RECONSIDER: There is a -Steelhead -Maws! -Steel eel -Scrapper!! -Drizzler -Goldie!!!! -Fish stick -Flipper flopper

The shore is where you are most likely to die and take the longest to be revived, don't go there unless you 100% have to and don't stay there any longer than you have to

Swing North-Fly-Fishing for Winter Steelhead from Mikey Wier on Vimeo.

Hidden behind deep gray fog, California’s North Coast is one of the most pristine habitats in the state. But the thick redwood forests and slate green rivers were almost devastated by the impact of industry. Once hosting runs of more than a million salmon and steelhead, the annual fish counts on the Eel River now often number less than 1,000. Yet, the salmonids persist. In recent years, signs of a recovery ripple through the waters. In Swing North, fishermen Mikey Wier and Jason Hartwick hook into the growing population of wild winter run steelhead on the Eel. With appearances by Yvon Chouinard of Patagonia and Shane Anderson, director of Wild Reverence: The Wild Steelheads’ Last Stand, the two discover a river that holds hope for one of California’s great remaining wild fisheries.

The full movie will be featured in the 2014 International Fly Fishing Film Festival (IF4).

Seasonal Fishing Destinations in the U.S.

Every season brings a thrilling new adventure in the realm of fishing, as the saying goes. The top U.S. destinations are eagerly awaiting your visit, offering a memorable fishing experience influenced by the time of year.

Spring: Freshwater Fishing at the Right Time

For freshwater fish, spring is like a wake-up alarm clock. As ice retreats and temperatures edge upward, fish become increasingly active, particularly those gearing up to spawn.

For thrilling bass fishing, Lake Erie, which spans Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York, is the best fishing spot . The shallow, warm waters attract walleye and bass. They’re hunting for food before getting ready to begin creating spawns. In the spring, especially the first few weeks of spring, fishermen often catch some impressive walleye.

For those who thrive on the excitement of catching snook or tarpon, the Florida Everglades is a year-round haven. However, springtime, when the water warms and these vibrant fish become more active and easier to tempt, is particularly rewarding. You’ll be taking in the gorgeous Florida scene while waiting for the big pull at the end of your line.

Summer: When the Heat is On and So is the Fishing

With the summer temperatures soaring, fish are in full-feeding mode. It’s an ideal opportunity to go out and land some sizable catches.

Lake Tahoe, straddling California and Nevada, offers a perfect setting for summer fishing. Its crystal-clear waters are home to rainbow trout, lake trout, and smallmouth bass. Experienced under the golden light, waiting patiently for that tug on the line can truly be blissful.

On Florida and Texas’s Gulf Coast, summer presents an ideal opportunity to catch saltwater. If you’re after offshore catches like tuna, dorado, or snapper, these fish are eagerly feeding in deeper waters. It’s a dream scenario for saltwater fishing enthusiasts.

It flows between Oregon and Washington, and the Columbia River is famous for its stunning Spring Chinook Salmon runs. But it’s not limited to Chinook salmon. Sturgeon, as well as steelhead, provide great opportunities for anglers who want to experience exciting fishing experiences.

Fall: The Spectacular Salmon Runs and Prime Freshwater Fishing

Fall ranks among the most thrilling seasons for fishing enthusiasts, especially when aiming for trout and salmon. As temperatures drop, fish prepare for winter and are on the lookout for food.

The Columbia River is alive again here in the fall. This is when Chinook and coho salmon runs reach their peak, offering the perfect opportunity to use both conventional fly fishing and bait methods to catch these large, stunning salmon. Watching them navigate upstream is truly remarkable.

Covering areas of Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan, Lake Michigan offers excellent fishing experiences in the fall, with lake trout and brown trout plentiful in the cooler waters. The autumn months also attract various salmon species, such as the king salmon. The scenery will be filled with gorgeous fall foliage as fishing, which adds to the appeal of the adventure.

Winter: The Quiet but Rewarding Season for Fishing

Fishing in winter isn’t for those with weak hearts. However, it is sure to be rewarding. Freshwater lakes are frozen over and offer the chance for ice fishing. Warmer coastal regions still provide high-quality deep-sea fishing.

Lake of the Woods in Minnesota is well-known because of the Ice fishing. In the winter months, you can catch northern pike, walleyes and crappie. It’s a wonderful experience wrapping up in an ice shack and awaiting the soft tug of the line.

Lake Champlain, spanning Vermont and New York, is another popular spot for ice fishing. Here, you can try to catch perch, trout, and bass. It’s a great option to take a break from the winter weather while doing what you love to do.

If fishing for ice isn’t your thing, take a trip towards Southern Florida. The region’s warm waters are perfect for deep-sea fishing during the colder months. You’ll find plenty of kingfish, grouper, and snapper, and enjoy Florida’s sunny weather from your boat.

Conclusion

Fishing across the United States offers a year-round adventure, regardless of the season, ensuring that everyone can discover a perfect fishing spot. By identifying the most popular places for each season and using the best techniques, you can maximize your chances of a great catch and enjoy an incredible time on the water. So, go out with fellow anglers and experience the excitement and beauty of fishing during different seasons!
