Coho Salmon
Similar to Chinook, Coho Salmon aren't a primary target species near Oak Harbor but may occasionally be found migrating through connected waters. If you're keen to try for them, focus your efforts during the fall months when they are most likely to be moving. Target areas with current and structure, such as near creek mouths or submerged logs. Smaller spoons and spinners, in bright colors, can be effective. Vary your retrieve to find what triggers strikes. Given their migratory nature, Coho are often on the move, so covering water is essential. A useful local tip is to talk to local bait shops or anglers for the most up-to-date information on salmon activity. Remember to always adhere to state fishing regulations and possess a valid fishing license. Access is available via public boat launches and shore fishing locations, but be aware of potential crowds during peak seasons.
