Coho Salmon
Chasing Coho salmon around Seattle is a quintessential Pacific Northwest experience, offering exciting action close to the city. These silvers are known for their aggressive strikes and aerial displays, making them a favorite among anglers. The best time to target Coho is typically from late summer through fall as they stage in Puget Sound before heading upriver to spawn. Look for them near river mouths, points, and areas with kelp beds. Trolling with small spoons, spinners, or hoochies is a productive method, especially when paired with a flasher. A practical piece of local knowledge: Coho often travel in schools, so if you catch one, stick around – there are likely more nearby. Also, consider fishing early in the morning or late in the evening when Coho are most active. These fish are incredibly fun to catch and are a great option for both experienced and novice anglers.
