Targeting Coho

[Adk1]

What time of year is good to target Koho out of Oswego? I am thinking end of August to mid September? Also what are the preferred baits? I would assume orange dodger?

Asked about coho last year as to when they might stage and  were got no response i have only caught a few during sept . I would say they are off shore most of the year and spawn after the kings are done but as to what river is best i have no idea .

When you fishing for Kings in Oswego late August to catch Coho just run a line up high or a 10 Leadcore with dodgers and spoons, or just plain colorful spoons. You will catch a lot of them, then are in the same waters just higher in the column. .

Best luck I have had with them this time of the year is fish just above the thermal cline. Colorful spoons work best.

Anyone notice the cohos this year are smaller and less abundant than last season? I wonder why?

I stop fishing after the second week in September and bring my boat home. I think the whole month should be good.

I get a lot of them running free sliders end of August through September. Red, Orange, Chartrause Evil Eyes.
