Coho (Silver) Salmon

These fish are some of the prettiest in the river. They have greenish-blue backs with silver sides. Small black spots on the back, dorsal fin and usually on the upper lobe of the tail only.

Spawning Coho Salmon develop green and black heads and dark brown to maroon bodies. They start entering into the river towards the end of July and are here until fall.

These fish are great to catch because they put up such an amazing fight!! They grow up to about 35 inches and most average weight is 8-15 lbs. They have a firm texture and such an awesome taste. They are great when smoked or when simply fried in a pan with some seasoning. They are also good for freezing and enjoying it later.
