Coho Salmon
Coho Salmon, like Chinook, offer a niche fishing opportunity near Pine Island, Minnesota, primarily due to Great Lakes stocking efforts. These fish migrate into tributaries during the fall spawning season (September-November). Target the larger rivers and streams in the area, focusing on areas with current breaks, deep pools, and gravel bottoms. Smaller spoons, spinners, and brightly colored flies are often productive for Coho. A local tactic is to drift egg imitations or small yarn flies through likely holding areas. Be aware that water clarity can be variable, so adjust your lure color and presentation accordingly. Public access may be limited in some areas, so consult local resources for access points. Although not as abundant as in traditional salmon fisheries, the chance to hook a Coho in Minnesota provides a unique angling experience. Always consult the latest fishing regulations for specific rules and limits.
