Coho Salmon
Anglers looking for Coho Salmon in Ohio should set their sights on Lake Erie near Kelleys Island. This area offers excellent opportunities, particularly during the spring and early summer when Coho are actively feeding in shallower waters. Focus your efforts around structures and drop-offs where baitfish congregate. Trolling with small spoons or using planer boards to cover more water can be very productive. Pay close attention to water clarity, as Coho can be line-shy in clear conditions. Kelleys Island's unique location allows anglers to intercept migrating Coho as they move along the lake's southern shore. A key tip is to monitor water temperature closely; Coho prefer cooler water, so target areas where upwellings or currents create temperature breaks. The island's ferry service provides easy access, and several marinas offer boat rentals. Remember to check Ohio's fishing regulations for specific limits and size restrictions.
