Good looking coho. Congrats. First light action is the sure ticket, roe or spoon. The problem for us town folks is that we can't just drive there and fish for an hour and head home. Not everyday is going to be productive. LOL. Besides, those good runs and hot pools are usually jammed packed with people until lately with the cold and foul weather. I guess it is better to head out later and then fish the evening bite, or better yet, when fish are moving through fast water, is to do top down presentation on a travel lane (outside of the chum route) without jerking the rod and using small size 2 hook with roe scented wool. Target the flatter area of the lane at least 2 ft deep best anchored by a larger rock at the end of the flat area, with fast sliding water below it. Fish will come up the slide and rest briefly at these flatter and deeper area and they bite well if you slow down the presentation with the top-down line feeding action. Most of my coho hooked this way are mouth hooked biting well in highly oxygenated rifling water. They bite well if you slow down enough with the top down presentation and if you stay back so they don't see you. High water with tea colour or at least a ft of visibility is best for this. Also with this slowed down top-down presentation, and with small hook without jerking the rod, there is a lot less foul hooking. If you do, just point the rod and the size 2 hook will open up in no time to release the foul hook. Just ply back the small hook and keep fishing. I guess the tough thing is to find a day off with the water at this optimal state so one can fish first light for maximum bite efficiency, and then drift off to find a good fast water where coho are travelling. That is why retirees do have an advantage to choose the best day and time to fish, especially if you live minutes from the river.
