Canada Fishing for Coho Salmon.
Canada fishing for Coho salmon here on the West Coast of Vancouver Island is the best place to find these scrappy fighting salmon. When fishing out of Port Renfrew for Coho salmon we find them in large schools around Swiftsure Banks. Coho can be found most days from June till October feeding on the surface. Coho feed on Krill in the mornings then move on to larger feed like herring later in the day. In fact they can be very difficult to catch in the morning unless you use flies or very small spoons. You can find it very frustrating as these Coho are in large schools which can be 10 miles or more long. The Coho can be boiling around the boat for miles and will not take just any gear. If not using the correct gear you will find out how picky these fish can be as your incorrect gear is trolled through thousands of fish without a hit.
When using the correct gear your action can be non-stop, that’s the way I like it. As the season progresses you will find the Coho growing by as much as a pound a week. When you catch one you can see why, they are shaped like a football. When approaching Sept these Coho can be found in the twenty-pound mark. We catch very large Coho in Port Renfrew in Sept and if fishing the Coho derby you will need a Coho over 25 lbs to take first prize. The derby is in Oct, by then you can keep 4 Coho in side the Port Of San Juan. Largest Coho landed in Port Renfrew just over 29 lbs.
