When Silvers Shine – Fishing for coho salmon in August
FishThe month of August is one of my favorite times of the year to get out and fish. There are still many opportunities across the state to target salmon species such as sockeye, pink, and chum. Perhaps, though, it is the coho or silver salmon that shines brightest this month.
Coho salmon are aggressive fish that can be pursued on fly or traditional hardware. They are strong, energetic fish that are fun to battle on rod and reel and they make great table fare.
In this edition of Reel Times, we share resources to help you target coho salmon. Additionally, we are happy to share a great story about a young angler from Kodiak who went back to the basics one day while out fishing for rockfish.
