Coho Salmon

Oncorhynchus kisutch

A hard-fighting Pacific salmon found in the Great Lakes and along the Pacific coast, coho provide excellent spring trolling and exciting fall runs up tributary rivers. Known as silver salmon for their brilliant chrome coloring, they are acrobatic fighters that frequently go airborne when hooked.
