Coho Salmon
Coho Salmon fishing near South Point, Ohio, mirrors the Chinook situation – it's opportunistic and dependent on stocking programs and the Ohio River's unique conditions. Fall is also the prime time for targeting Coho, as they migrate upstream, although their numbers are typically smaller than Chinook. Focus on the same areas: the confluences of tributaries with the Ohio River. These areas provide resting points and attract baitfish, drawing in the salmon. Use similar tactics to Chinook fishing, but consider downsizing your lures and presentations slightly, as Coho tend to be a bit smaller and more selective. Brightly colored spinners and smaller crankbaits can be effective. Remember that water clarity in the Ohio River can fluctuate dramatically, so adjust your lure colors accordingly. A local recommendation: check with local bait shops for the most recent stocking information and reports of Coho sightings. Success hinges on timing and adaptability.
