I spoke to a friend of mine who had been out in the ocean recently and from the sounds of it the Coho are already starting to bunch up. Apparently the commercial fisherman are catching some incidentals.

They are relatively small, 3-4 lbs. but in good numbers. They will be gaining between 1/2 lb. and 1 lb. each week from here on out. I'm already getting excited for another banner year of Coho fishing!

Stop it you are making me drool all over my key board at work.

My guess would be there are seeing sockeyes not coho.

It sounds like the Coho are already starting to arr...

Are you saying silvers are blind?
I'll actually go way out on a thin limb and guess that the word from the dudes out on the ocean waters is fairly accurate. Good news.

July 1st generally marks the opening of the ocean salmon season so we're just a few weeks away for adventurous souls.

Can't wait!

Where out in the ocean? Neah Bay or at Ilwaco? It makes a little bit of difference on where they are at.

Just spoke to a friend who lives out by Joyce. Said he was fishing for SRCs on Saturday morning at a beach along Route 112. Only got 3 SRCs in about 4 hours but there was a short period of time where he couldn't get his fly to the cutties because of these darn silv.... I mean bullheads. Large 3 pound "silver bullheads" kept intercepting his clouser. He hates it when that happens.

I was at the Ballard Locks yesterday and did see a few salmon coming up. I don't know if they were Sockey or Coho, but according to the reference photos they have there looked more like Sockeye to me.:dunno :dunno

 

[rockfish]

right on, it must be nice being a fly fisher and living by joyce with all those bullheads around everywhere.

[saltchuck]

I'll have to go out there and see if I can help him out.....that's what friends are for

 

[D3Smartie]

they are P-N-P too. just residents but 3 pounders are fun as incedentals.

How have the crowds been at PNP? I usually don't go there unless all my other favorites are fishing poorly because of the combat fishing conditions.
