Coho Salmon
Chasing Coho Salmon near West Point, Illinois, demands a strategic approach, considering their limited presence in these waters. Similar to Chinook, Coho make their way up some Mississippi River tributaries during spawning. Look to the fall season, specifically late September through November, for the peak of their migration. These fish are often chasing baitfish, so matching the hatch is crucial. Smaller spoons and spinners can be effective. The water around West Point can be turbid, so consider using lures with rattles or bright colors to attract attention. A valuable local tip: try fishing near bridge pilings or other structures in the La Moine River, where Coho might hold. Always be sure to check the Illinois Department of Natural Resources website for the most up-to-date regulations and advisories regarding salmon fishing in this region.
