The Coho Salmon, also known as Silver Salmon, is a prized catch for anglers along the Pacific coast. These fish are known for their acrobatic fights, often leaping clear of the water when hooked. Coho typically spend about 18 months in freshwater before migrating to the ocean, where they mature for about 18 more months before returning to their natal streams to spawn. During their ocean phase, Coho have bright silver sides, which gives them their 'Silver Salmon' nickname. As they prepare to spawn, males develop a pronounced hooked snout and reddish sides, while females maintain a more streamlined appearance. Coho are highly adaptable, found in both coastal and inland waters, and are a crucial part of the ecosystem as well as commercial and recreational fisheries. They're known for their rich, orange-red flesh and are considered excellent table fare. Fishing for Coho often involves trolling with flashers and hoochies, or casting spinners in rivers. Their predictable run timing makes them a reliable target for anglers, with peak seasons typically occurring in late summer to early fall, depending on the specific region and run.
