Rino, if anyone posts any locations on the forum it will be a zoo.  I'd suggest going for a walk and exploring.  Best way to find good coho water.

Try asking your local shop for the latest information and make a few trips to test the waters yourself. Keep in mind that if you don't see fish, it doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't there - it just might be the wrong sort of water that you are targeting. Do you spin fish or chuck flies?

They are throughout the river. Put in the time and you will be rewarded.

For coho avoid the deep and fast water wher ethe springs are. Try the slower water off to the side, tailouts, or slack water locations.

im sure its been done before, but from my personal experience, where the springs are usually the coho are not.

hey rhino

you should go and talk with some guys that have some experience and time to explain stuff to you. a good place is pacific angler or high water tackle good guys work in these shops and they will take the time to get you pointed in the right direction.

be patient and have fun!

Hiring a guide doesn't hurt.
