Coho Salmon
Michigan City is a Lake Michigan hotspot for Coho Salmon, known for their acrobatic fights and delicious table fare. These fish tend to be shallower than Chinook, making them accessible to a wider range of anglers. Spring and early summer are prime times to target Coho as they actively feed on alewives near shore. Trolling with small spoons and body baits in the top 20 feet of water is very effective. Access is easy from the public boat launch at Washington Park. A local tactic is to look for birds actively feeding on baitfish, as this often indicates the presence of Coho. Water clarity can vary, so keep an assortment of lure colors on hand. Also, be aware of the daily bag limits and size restrictions, which can change from year to year. Checking with local tackle shops for the latest information can improve your chances of success.
