Coho Salmon

Coho Salmon

Various

Coho Salmon, known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights, are a popular target for anglers fishing near Keego Harbor. Similar to Chinook, the Coho run peaks in the fall as they return to spawn. The waters near the tributary mouths are prime locations to intercept these fish. Consider trolling small spoons or spinners behind planer boards to cover more water. A local technique involves using brightly colored flies or small jigs under a bobber in the rivers. Water temperature is a critical factor; Coho prefer cooler water, so targeting areas with springs or deeper pools can be productive. Be sure to check the Michigan DNR website for updated fishing reports and regulations specific to the area you plan to fish. The Coho fishery here can be quite dynamic, with runs varying in strength from year to year.
