Coho Salmon
The Coho Salmon run in Lake Erie near Lorain, Ohio, is a much-anticipated event for local anglers. These acrobatic fish provide exciting action, especially during the fall months when they stage near the mouths of rivers like the Black River before spawning. Trolling is a highly effective method, using small to medium-sized spoons and crankbaits. Focus on areas with clear water and baitfish concentrations. Depth is crucial; Coho often suspend in the water column, so experiment with different depths until you find where they're holding. A valuable local tip: pay attention to wind direction. Onshore winds can push warmer water towards the shore, driving the Coho further out. Offshore winds, on the other hand, can concentrate them closer to the shore. Remember to check the Ohio Department of Natural Resources fishing regulations for specific size and bag limits. Public access to Lake Erie is available at various locations in Lorain, including boat ramps and shoreline fishing areas.
