Coho Salmon
Chasing Coho near Goodnews Bay? You're in for a treat. This area sees strong Coho runs pushing into the bay and up the Goodnews River and other smaller tributaries. Peak season is typically late July through September, coinciding with the salmon's push to spawn. The unique aspect here is the mix of saltwater, brackish, and freshwater environments, requiring you to adapt your approach. Focus on areas where the river meets the bay, as Cohos stage here before heading upstream. Local tip: Pay close attention to water clarity. If the river is blown out from rain, try fishing the clearer waters closer to the bay's mouth. Also, be prepared to adjust your depth frequently. The Cohos will often hold in deeper pockets during the day and move shallower in the evening. Remember to use barbless hooks, and check current regulations for closures or restrictions.
