Coho Salmon

Various

Coho Salmon fishing near Charlevoix, Michigan, offers exciting action in Lake Michigan. These fish are known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. The best time to target them is typically late summer and early fall, coinciding with their spawning migration. Coho tend to stay higher in the water column than Chinook, so you can often find them without using downriggers, especially early in the season. Trolling with brightly colored spoons or crankbaits is a very effective method. A key piece of advice for Charlevoix is to monitor the nearshore waters. Coho often follow schools of baitfish right up to the beaches. Casting from shore or wading can be surprisingly productive. The area around the channel connecting Lake Michigan to Round Lake can be a hotspot. Be mindful of boat traffic in this area. Also, keep an eye on water clarity, as Coho prefer clearer water than some other salmon species.
