   Jetboatjim, you are absolutely right. It has zero to do with where they feed. When you hook a Cap coho, especially a female one, upon inspection you'll notice that the eggs are tiny and will need some time to mature, fall fish on the Cap are bigger by about a 1-1 1/2 pounds and are far more ready to spawn in terms of egg size and the male gonads. However, the early Cap fish are a great indicator of the state of coho in general in terms of size, numbers and health. Tight lines, WS.
