Coho Salmon
Coho salmon fishing near Bird Island, Minnesota requires a bit of a different approach than targeting them in the Great Lakes. Focus your efforts on the rivers and streams that feed into the larger waterways. The fall is when these fish are most active, making their upstream spawning runs. Look for areas with gravel beds and moderate current, as these are prime spawning locations. Pay attention to water clarity; Coho can be easily spooked in clear water. Early morning and late evening are often the most productive times. A key tip is to use smaller, brightly colored lures or flies. Given the smaller size of the waterways, wading can be an effective way to access prime fishing spots. Be sure to check local regulations regarding salmon fishing, as they can change frequently. Successful Coho fishing here is about understanding the local conditions and adapting your tactics accordingly.
