How deep and what where you using because I am going out tonight and might be fishing not sure yet
Had one big boy Coho, but was unfortunately wild, thought it was a Spring until I got it beside the boat.
Was in tight to the Grande cliffs 160’ of water. Both Springs were caught at 140’ on a 3.5 Herring Aid spoon.
We were at Grande scrubbing bottom so not sure about Entrance or Fingers.

3 of us kept 2 springs and one clipped coho at entrance last night between 99 and 120 feet. Mine was 79, so couldn't ask for a nicer first keeper of the season. We tried deeper, but kept hitting unclipped coho between 170 and 210.

Went out the opener in the afternoon. Very hot weather . And hot fishing
2 man limit on springs and clipped coho. Released several wild coho. Fished about 2 hours
The big spring of the two was 15-16 pounds . Funny enough it was clipped too. Smaller was closer to 10
Going again this afternoon!

Good to hear; I’ll be somewhere between Thrasher and Entrance tomorrow and Thursday. I sure hope it’s as easy to get our slot Chinook as it was last week when we had to release them.

Roger. Just a note for all of you as an FYI.
It's hard for us at Sport Fishing Advisory 17 to help open up any of these areas if you don't turn the heads in. On top of the DNA data we collect through AVID angler program, the heads, and creel are just as important.
I often at Brechin see a bunch of coho heads at cleaning station not turned in. Real simple the freezer and tags are right there next to cleaning station, so no excuse.
At this stage of the game it's really important to do that. We all know there is politics preventing our area from opening when it should be open in springtime when it is our prime time fishing season. And be nice the creel surveyor. We need them to collect data.
Thanks guys will be out this week as well....
