Going from record low water to almost-flooding conditions in less than a week can make any sane fisherman go crazy! If you understand where and how coho move, you can have consistent success as we have had over the last week. Don’t get complacent with the ‘I got one here last week’ syndrome — be ready to move and explore. Also, we have found that the further away you get from other anglers, the more likely it is that these fish will bite. This is getting to be the magical time of year on a lot of our rivers as you just don’t know what your going to catch that day; there are already a few reports of early winter-run steelhead, coho, chum, old pinks, etc. in the systems. Give me a call as we will also be targeting fall/winter cutthroat trout on Lake Sammamish.
