Coho Salmon
Coho salmon fishing near West Point hinges on understanding the specific migration patterns within the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Unlike their Chinook cousins, Coho runs are often more localized and sensitive to environmental conditions. Focus your efforts in the sloughs and backwaters off the main river channels, especially during the late fall and early winter months. These areas provide refuge and feeding opportunities as the Coho prepare to spawn. Casting spinners or twitching jigs near submerged structure can be highly effective. Pay attention to water temperature; Coho prefer cooler water, so look for areas with shade or deeper pools. Boat access is essential, and careful navigation is required due to shallow waters and potential hazards. A local tactic is to fish near the mouths of smaller creeks that feed into the delta, as these often attract Coho seeking spawning grounds. Be aware that Coho populations have faced challenges in recent years, so practicing catch and release is highly encouraged to help protect this iconic species.
