Coho Salmon
Looking to tangle with some Coho in the Port Austin area? Lake Huron offers some excellent opportunities, especially during the spring and early summer months. As water temperatures rise, the Coho will be actively feeding, making them a prime target for anglers. Focus your efforts near the mouths of rivers and streams that feed into Lake Huron, as these areas often hold schools of baitfish that attract the salmon. Trolling with small spoons and crankbaits is a popular and effective method. A key to success is paying attention to the wind and current. Coho will often congregate on the up-current side of structures or weed beds. The area near the Port Austin State Harbor is a good place to start, providing easy access to productive waters. Don't be afraid to experiment with different depths and lure colors until you find what the fish are hitting.
