Coho Fishing - Edmonds Area

The past couple of days have seen nothing but good coho fishing in the Edmonds area.  We have had countless numbers of guys in the past two days that have mentioned how good the coho fishing has been for them.  Most everyone has had no problems in getting their limits  and if they didn't it was a matter that they were trying to get larger fish to take home and were picky about the size.  Most of the fish have been in the 4 - 7 pound range with a few that a pushing up to 13.  Though fish that are really 8 - 13 pounds are very few and far between.  Fish have been fairly shallow in the first few hours with anglers finding them from the surface down to fifty feet.  Many anglers have been successful dragging a plug cut herring with 4 - 8 ounces of lead.  Fishing Deep 6 divers with a dodger squid/coho fly combination has been very successful for those not having downriggers.  If you have a desire to get in some coho fishing this season, the next two weeks should provide the best opportunity.  If you have any questions on what to use or how to rig gear up just stop by and we'll be glad to give you a hand.
