Coho Salmon
Coho Salmon fishing near Camp Point, Illinois, requires a trip closer to Lake Michigan, as these fish primarily inhabit the lake and its tributaries. Similar to Chinook, targeting Coho involves intercepting their spawning runs in the fall. Focus on tributaries and harbors where these fish congregate. Coho are known for their aggressive strikes, so using flashy spoons and spinners can be effective. Pay attention to water conditions, as Coho prefer cooler, well-oxygenated water. A practical tip for anglers is to fish early in the morning or late in the evening when Coho are most active. Also, consider using a fluorocarbon leader, as Coho can be line-shy in clear water. Remember to check the Illinois Department of Natural Resources website for the most up-to-date regulations and creel limits for Coho Salmon.
