Coho Salmon
Chasing Coho salmon near Sitka, Alaska, means fishing in some of the most stunning coastal scenery imaginable. The waters surrounding Sitka are rich with baitfish, drawing in large numbers of Coho during their spawning runs. The peak season is typically late summer and early fall, when the silvers are staging in the bays and inlets before heading upriver. Trolling with spoons or hoochies is a popular and effective method. Pay close attention to water temperature and clarity; Cohos often prefer cooler, clearer water. A local's secret: try fishing near the mouths of salmon streams during incoming tides. The Sitka Sound offers numerous public boat launches, but be prepared for potentially rough seas and changing weather conditions. Check local regulations regarding salmon retention limits before heading out.
