Coho Salmon
Coho Salmon fishing out of Ocean Shores, WA, is a dynamic and rewarding experience. These silver bullets flood into the area during the late summer and early fall, offering fantastic nearshore opportunities. Look for them near river mouths and along the coastline as they stage before entering freshwater systems. Trolling with brightly colored spoons or spinners is a popular tactic, and mooching with herring can also be effective. A key local tip: watch for diving birds, as they often indicate the presence of baitfish, which attract Coho. Also, be aware that Coho can be leader shy, so consider using fluorocarbon leaders. The Coho fishery near Ocean Shores is known for its accessibility and relatively calm waters compared to offshore salmon fishing. These fish are acrobatic fighters, providing an exhilarating experience for anglers of all skill levels.
