Coho Salmon
Sylvan Beach in Michigan is a fantastic launching point for Coho Salmon adventures. These acrobatic fish provide exciting action in Lake Michigan's nearshore waters. The best time to target Coho here is typically spring and early summer, when they are actively feeding on alewives near the surface. Focus on areas with cooler water temperatures and abundant baitfish. Trolling with small spoons or crankbaits is a highly effective method. Look for areas with slight color changes in the water, as these often indicate temperature breaks and concentrated Coho activity. A practical tip is to use planer boards to spread your lines and cover more water. The local Coho population is known for its aggressive strikes, so be ready for some thrilling battles. Access to the lake is easy from the public boat launch in Sylvan Beach, but arrive early during peak season to avoid crowds.
