Coho Salmon
Chasing Coho salmon near Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin, is a rewarding experience, especially given the relatively accessible nature of the fishery. Unlike some other Great Lakes ports, Baileys Harbor offers nearshore opportunities that can be productive even from smaller boats. The best time to target Cohos is typically spring and early summer when they are actively feeding close to shore. Look for areas with warmer surface water and abundant baitfish. Trolling small spoons and crankbaits is a proven method. Local anglers often have success using planer boards to spread out their lines and cover more water. A key tip: pay attention to wind direction. A sustained onshore wind can push warmer water and bait closer to the harbor, creating ideal fishing conditions. The local DNR website offers up-to-date fishing reports and stocking information, which can be invaluable for planning your trip. Remember that Coho can be finicky, so be prepared to experiment with different presentations.
