KB - I've been there too. Landing a coho can be a real stinker when they're rolling around with a bunch of snaggers. I don't even try anymore. Next time, try to access the river downstream. The idea is to intercept coho as they're moving upstream and before they reach the mess at the Meathole. The drift boaters seem to do well and I've done okay at several spots closer to Woodland. Good luck.
