Coho Salmon
Targeting Coho Salmon near Port Byron, Illinois, requires understanding the unique dynamics of the local waterways where the saltwater mixes with freshwater. While Illinois isn't typically known for salmon, these fish can be found making their way up certain rivers and streams. Focus your efforts during the fall and early winter as the Coho migrate upstream to spawn. Use natural presentations that mimic the local forage, such as alewives or smelt. Vary your depth to find where the fish are holding in relation to the temperature and current. For bank access, explore areas near the Hennepin Canal Parkway State Park. Be prepared for swift currents and varying water levels, especially after rainfall.
