Coho Salmon
Escanaba, Michigan, is a fantastic location to pursue Coho Salmon, particularly in Lake Michigan and its tributaries. These acrobatic fish provide thrilling action. The prime time is typically late summer and early fall as the Coho stage near the river mouths before their spawning runs. Focus on areas like the Escanaba River and the Days River. Trolling small spoons or spinners in the lake or casting from shore is a common and effective tactic. Water temperature is a key factor, so monitor it closely. A local's secret is to look for areas where cooler water is entering the lake. Remember to check the current Michigan DNR regulations for Coho, including creel limits and any specific river closures. The Coho in this area are known for their bright silver color and energetic fights.
