Coho Salmon
Silver salmon, or Coho, offer fantastic action in the waters around Tacoma. The fall months are peak season, coinciding with their return to the local rivers. Commencement Bay and the waters near the mouth of the Puyallup River are excellent starting points. These fish are aggressive and often found near the surface, making them ideal for casting spoons or spinners. Try trolling with brightly colored lures or hoochies behind a flasher. A key to success is finding the baitfish schools; Coho are rarely far behind. A local hotspot is often around Browns Point. Be mindful of the regulations regarding marked vs. unmarked Coho, as selective fisheries are common. The Coho in this area are known for their acrobatic leaps, so be prepared for an exciting fight!
