Title: Questions about Coho fishing
Post by: shawn_john on September 11, 2006, 04:42:19 PM

i am new at coho fishing and just had some questions. it says in the regs that you are allowed to catch hatchery coho only.   how can you tell the difference between wild and hatchery coho?          also the limit of how many you can keep? THanks
