Coho Salmon
Chasing Coho Salmon around Silver Bay presents a fantastic opportunity for anglers looking for a more accessible salmon species. Unlike Chinook, Coho tend to stay closer to the surface, making them ideal targets for trolling and casting. Focus on areas with active baitfish schools, particularly near the Silver Bay Marina or the mouth of the Split Rock River. These feisty fish are opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures can be effective, including small spoons, spinners, and crankbaits. Consider using downriggers or planer boards to cover more water. The best time to target Coho is typically during the late summer and early fall, when they begin their spawning runs. A local's secret: try trolling along the shoreline with bright-colored lures on overcast days. The Coho in this area are known for their acrobatic leaps, making for an exciting fight.
