Catching Coho Salmon

Posted by Donnie On 8:02 AM No comments
One of the most popular fish to eat is the salmon, and it's also one of the most popular to catch for people who love to fish. They are a challenge for the angler, including a propensity for spectacular fights and jumps when hooked.

Instructions

    1 Know where the fish live. Although Coho Salmon (also known as Silver Salmon) can be found elsewhere, the most popular locations to catch this fish are in the Pacific Northwest including Alaska and in the Midwest, especially in Lake Michigan.
    2 Familiarize yourself with the laws. Each state in the range of the Coho Salmon has strict laws about when, where and how you can fish. The state of Washington, famous for its salmon, admits the rules there are "some of the most complex fishing regulations in the world." Generally, the regulations are designed to protect the species from over fishing.
    3 Fish for Midwest Coho Salmon in the spring. They start to spawn in July, but earlier in the year you'll find them in shallow water fairly close to the surface anywhere between 50 to 150 feet out, so it's easier to catch them off a pier. The Lake Michigan season usually gets underway in May.
    4 Stay shallow. Pacific Ocean Coho Salmon also like shallow water, and you'll generally find them in the 20-foot depth range--swimming in schools--no matter the time of day or what the weather is like. You won't catch many below 100 feet. Watch for tidal or rip currents, since they tend to attract food for the Coho Salmon.
    5 Use live bait or lures. Fresh water Coho Salmon can be caught with night crawlers, salmon eggs or crawdads, or in salt water with herring and a flasher to attract attention. The fish are known to hit a variety of lures, including medium-sized spoons. You don't need a great deal of equipment to catch a Coho Salmon; they can easily be taken if you bring a strong but ordinary rod and a pair of waders to stand in a river.
    6 Drift along. This method has you casting a line upriver, and then letting the line (up to 30 pounds) drift through an area where you might catch a Coho Salmon. Since they are likely to be in shallower water, you aren't likely to need weights to hold down your line and bait. You can do this from the shore or from a boat.
    7 Get the Salmon's attention. Most anglers suggest using colorful lures, and often apply a commercial product that adds smell to their set up. Rattles can add sound to encourage a Coho Salmon to check out your line.
