Coho Salmon
Coho salmon fishing in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, is a fantastic option for anglers seeking consistent action and delicious table fare. These silver bullets are known for their acrobatic leaps and spirited fights, making them a favorite among Great Lakes anglers. The best time to target Coho in Sturgeon Bay is typically from late spring through early summer, as they migrate into the bay to feed.
