We were out on Saturday and did pretty well.  There are a ton of Coho in there. I got these in about an hour. Slow water is what you want and fishing is even better if the river is high.

Come on dude you have to read the regs before you go out fishing. The rules clearly state 4 salmon.

I know I know that bottom one looked so fresh so couldn't resist...actually realized it touched my other fish. Nasty.

Hey btw anyone notice that Does seem to have more orange meat and the Bucks have reddish meat.  When filleting those it was pretty obvious.

Nice haul. It gets frustrating seeing all these pictures of people with limits, I've been out twice in the past 10 days and haven't even seen a coho! Oh well, I know how it is, some days you just find the right spot at the right time and you can't keep them off.

 Does use more of body fat to produce quantity of roe, so the flesh is a little bit depleted. Males producing a bit of milt usually have better flesh quality when caught in the river. It applies to most salmonids. Males flesh is usually better table fare.

Unless you really need the roe, let the ripe females go. They make poor table fare, but lots of baby coho for future fishing opportunities.

Glad to know I'm not the only one NiceFish!

Milo, I thought they'd kill all the hatchery fish anyways? Just referring to cohos.

There is always an overabundant amount of hatchery coho salmon arriving at the hatchery which will not be used for producing future offsprings. They are collected and given to the local First Nations. If you don't keep them for yourselves, someone else will just be eating them.

True that.
I also kill the occasional doe, for I like to eat salmon caviar every now and then.

But it is a fact that ripe does taste very poorly.
