Coho Salmon
Coho Salmon fishing near Mercer Island can be a rewarding experience, especially during their peak migration in the late summer and early fall. Lake Washington and the surrounding Puget Sound waters offer ample opportunity to intercept these feisty fish. Look for Coho near the surface, as they tend to be more active in the upper water column than Chinook. Trolling with small spoons or spinners, or casting with twitching jigs, can be highly effective. The Coho in this area are known for their acrobatic leaps and aggressive strikes, making for exciting battles. A local's trick is to use brightly colored lures, as Coho are often attracted to flashy presentations. Access to the water is readily available from various parks and boat launches around Mercer Island. Check the WDFW regulations for specific rules and seasons, and be mindful of other boat traffic in this popular fishing area.
