Coho Salmon
If you're looking for Coho salmon in Ohio, Lake Erie near Ashtabula is a prime destination. These feisty fish provide excellent sport, known for their acrobatic leaps and aggressive strikes. Similar to Chinook, Coho fishing revolves around understanding water temperature and forage. They often hold shallower than Chinook, making them accessible to anglers without downriggers, though downriggers will still increase your success. Early morning and late evening are prime times, especially near creek mouths where they stage before entering the tributaries. Trolling with small spoons or crankbaits is effective. Spring and early summer are generally considered the best times, but a fall run can also occur. A local hotspot is near the power plant, where warmer water attracts baitfish. Be aware of the wind direction; a strong east wind can make the lake unfishable. The Geneva State Park marina is a good launch point.
