namesake of the book The Silver Horde
written by Rex Beach. Lew was inspired by
Rex Beach’s account of the vast amounts of
silvery salmon, known as a “silver horde”.
The book tells of the birth of salmon fishing
industry in Alaska where silver hordes of
fish were caught in fish traps and nets.
Today, Silver Horde continues to be a top
manufactuer of salmon and trout fishing
lures and accessories.
Whether I’m trolling for kings outside the
Golden Gate, trying to fool Alaskan silvers
or just trying to secure a “Sierra Trout
Dinner” lures and accessories from the
folks at Silver Horde/Gold Star are never
far from reach. Here are just a few of their
products that I use extensively:
Micro Squid
Micro Squid are perfect for trout, land-
locked kings and ‘kokes. The squid are 1.75
inches long. They come in a
long list of standard, ultra
violet and glow colors. Slip
them on a double hook
leader, toss a dodger into
the mix and you’re ready
to fish!
Ace Hi Fly “Junior”
An Ace Hi Fly is like a
hoochie wearing a tuxedo,
basically a greatly dressed up
version of the old reliable
plastic squid. Ace Hi Flies
come with a hard bead head that boasts
lifelike eyes. The skirt utilizes a hoochie,
but adds to it with synthetic flash.
Ace Hi Fly Juniors come either rigged
or unrigged. The flies are 2 inches long. I
generally go with the unrigged version and
run them off double hook leaders.
Kingfisher Lite
When I need a small spoon for ocean
salmon or a big spoon for trout I generally
reach for my selection of Kingfisher Lite
Spoons. The spoon comes in three sizes
that range from 2-5/8 inches long to 3-3/8
inches. I usually go with the smallest
version. A wide range of color choices in
standard, glow and Ultra Violet finishes are
available.
When it comes to
color I usually keep
things simple and try
to match the baitfish
the trout or salmon
are feeding on.

ncle Larry’s Lures
are well known
for their trout, salmon and
kokanee spinners and have
been catching fish in
Northern California for
years. Bob Muhlbeier of
Sonora purchased Uncle
Larry’s from his good friend
John Yurkovich last fall,
and plans on continuing
the well-known brand.
Bob grew up in Lodi and has been fishing all the foothill lakes
and reservoirs since he was a kid. He always caught lots of trout
and kokanee on Uncle Larry’s spinners, so when he saw the
chance to buy the company, he jumped on it!
All of Uncle Larry’s lures are built from real silver plate, gold
plate and copper blades, not just nickel plate or brass like some
others. The advantage of using the real thing is you get a much
better, deeper flash with silver, gold and copper, and that came
make a big difference in catching fish. Uncle Larry’s also feature
UV colors, special Glow paint, and even the beads on the spinners
are hand painted.
Bob will continue producing the successful patterns of trout and
kokanee spinners, Mini Squid lures as well as the larger salmon
spinners and downrigger ball flashers. Coming soon will be a
complete line of mini spinners for kokanee, in both single and
double blade designs. A new website is being constructed right
now to showcase the whole line of Uncle Larry’s products.
For more information, give Bob a call at (209)609-7034. Uncle
Larry’s Lures are available at your local tackle shop, or go online
