Coho Salmon
If you're looking for Coho Salmon action, Valdez, Alaska, is a prime location, especially from mid-July through September. The waters of Port Valdez and the surrounding bays teem with silvers as they prepare to enter the local rivers and streams. These Coho are aggressive and readily take lures and flies. Trolling with brightly colored spoons or spinners is a popular and effective method. Fly anglers can find success using streamers in the mouths of rivers like the Lowe River. The Coho in Valdez are known for their acrobatic displays, providing thrilling fights. A local tip is to pay attention to the tides; incoming tides often bring in fresh schools of fish. The boat launch at the Valdez small boat harbor provides easy access to prime fishing grounds. Be mindful of the presence of bears when fishing near rivers and streams.
