I would go with a flourescent colors of pixies for silvers, and anything bright for reds. I have never fished for king salmon on the Kenai I am always in the boat!

Ok so bright colors should i be using big lures to get some wieght so the lures get down deep or are the fish kinda suspended? im talking about fishing in rivers

I fish on the Kenai river so that is what works there. For reds you use waits to keep it bouncing on the bottom and you try to snag them in the mouth by jerking the pole towards the shore and taking in line. Then throw it 15' up river and do it again! Silvers from the shore you get a spinner bait and throw it out into the river and crank it at a medium speed back to you. Middle weighted lures are best.
