FALL
CHINOOK &
COHO
SALMON
Fall Chinook salmon and Coho salmon fishing starts around August 1st and
runs thru October. Fishing for Chinook salmon is the ultimate thrill.
Chinook salmon are very wild as they come right from the ocean. Larry
follows these fish up river as the salmon migrate and knows the best fishing
spots. The size of Chinook salmon vary from about 10 to 60lbs.
Coho salmon is also known as Silver Salmon. Coho salmon range in size from
about 5 to 20 lbs and are very active fish. They have been known to jump
right into the net. The Coho salmon fishery runs into October and Larry is
very familiar with their run as they migrate from the ocean up stream. Coho
salmon run up river to all the tributaries of the Columbia River including
the Willamette River and the Clackamas River.
The adipos fin must be missing to keep this fish. All others must be
returned unharmed to the river as they are considered to be an endangered
fish.
