Coho Salmon
Coho Salmon offer a thrilling freshwater fishing opportunity near Minnetonka Beach, Minnesota. While not native, these stocked salmon adapt to the freshwater environment of Lake Minnetonka, providing a unique angling experience. Success hinges on understanding their seasonal movements and forage preferences. Focus on areas with cooler water temperatures and abundant baitfish. Spring and fall are typically the most productive times. Trolling is a favored technique, allowing you to cover water and locate active fish. Small spoons and spinners are effective choices, and varying your trolling speed can help trigger strikes. The thermocline plays a vital role; Coho often hold just above it. A crucial tip for this area is to pay attention to wind direction. On windy days, salmon will often move to the windward side of the lake, following the concentration of plankton and baitfish. Also, check local regulations for specific size and bag limits, as these can change seasonally.
