Coho Salmon
For Coho salmon, Port Townsend offers exciting opportunities in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Known for their acrobatic leaps and aggressive strikes, these silvers are a favorite among anglers. The prime time to target Coho is typically from August through October, as they stage in the area before heading to their spawning rivers. Trolling is a popular method, and flashers paired with spoons or hoochies can be incredibly effective. Keep an eye out for birds diving and bait balls, as these often indicate the presence of feeding Coho. A local tactic is to vary your trolling speed and depth until you find what the fish are responding to on that particular day. Fort Worden State Park offers good access to the water, but be aware of potential wind and wave conditions, as the Strait can be unpredictable. Make sure to consult the WDFW regulations for specific area closures and size/retention limits.
