Your next unforgettable catch might just shimmer like this.

October 10, 2025

They don’t call it the “silver salmon” for nothing. Coho are sleek, fast, and fiery fighters that light up rivers and coastal waters every year. Beloved by Pacific Northwest anglers and revered by chefs, this fish has it all—power on the line and flavor on the plate. Whether you’re after a spirited fight or a perfect fillet, here’s everything you need to know about spotting, catching, and cooking Coho Salmon, one of the most iconic species in North American waters.

The One Salmon Every Angler Should Chase

One of the five Pacific salmon species, Coho Salmon, is the most popular sport fish in the Pacific Northwest region. Historically, like many other Pacific salmon types, Coho has been a staple of the native people. It once provided a substantial portion of the dietary and trade needs of indigenous people. And today, government officials work closely with tribal leaders to responsibly manage the Coho populations.
