According to today's Seattle Times Report, 1.7 million chum are expected to return to Puget Sound this year, and start showing up in good numbers in the next few weeks.

I have never caught one but I understand that the "Mean Green" is on e heck of a fighter and big too. I know that they are not esteemed as table fare, but out of the salt they should be good at least for the smoker.

Anyway, I have never chased them and would appreciate any tips on tackle, trolling methods etc.

With coho so slow to non-existant in the salt right now, and the rivers to dang low, chasing the "dogs" sounds like an option to me.
