Chinook Salmon
Targeting Chinook Salmon near West Point, Ohio, requires understanding the dynamics where freshwater meets saltwater. While Ohio isn't traditionally known for Chinook, stray fish do enter the waterways. Focus your efforts in the fall as salmon migrate. The key is locating areas where the water salinity changes, as this is where baitfish will concentrate. Use larger spoons or crankbaits that imitate the size of the prevalent forage fish, and don't be afraid to experiment with color. A local tip: The mouths of smaller creeks entering the Ohio River can be productive holding spots as salmon stage before moving further upstream. Be prepared to adjust your depth and presentation based on water temperature and current. Check local regulations for specific restrictions on salmon fishing.
