Coho Salmon fishing is almost a way of life on the local rivers during the fall, with huge runs coming in on the rain filled rivers such as the Chilliwack and Chehalis. These smaller systems allow the use of very light tackle or fly equipment. Coho fishing in BC is a sportsman's dream. Coho are very challenging, one day they grab anything going by, while other times Coho seem to ignore even the best offerings. If it is a challenge you want, this is an excellent sport fish.

Prime Times: September-December
