Coho Salmon
The pursuit of Coho salmon near Stinson Beach offers anglers a more challenging but rewarding experience than their Chinook cousins. These salmon are known for their acrobatic fights and selective feeding habits. The season typically peaks in the fall, with October and November offering the best opportunities. Focus your efforts near the entrance to San Francisco Bay, where Coho often stage before entering the rivers to spawn. Trolling with smaller lures or flies can be effective, and paying attention to tidal movements is crucial. A local tip: try fishing early in the morning or late in the evening, when the fish are more active. Be sure to check the California Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for specific closures and gear restrictions, as Coho populations are carefully monitored and protected.
