THE FIGHTING PROWESS OF THE COHO SALMON
Coho Salmon are fished on many of our river systems in the Fraser Valley. With an average of 6-10 lbs and some getting over 15lbs Coho salmon are known for their aggressive, yet “moody” behaviour, which can provide a good challenge for any angler. They will chase and strike at a wide variety of presentations, making them an ideal salmon species to target using flies, spoons and spinners. They can also be caught using traditional drift gear with natural and artificial baits, and are a lot of fun using light and medium tackle. Each river system has its own unique characteristics and some river systems fish better with certain methods.
Each river system has its own distinct time when fishing is at its best, this gives us the flexibility to move around and fish which ever river is producing. Flexibility and knowledge of the local rivers systems is the key to our success.
With Coho Salmon being the pinnacle they can range from being extremely shy and wary to attacking with reckless abandonment. The Coho Salmon is a feisty acrobat that is a big favourite among many river anglers.
