the net pens aren't the only place those coho show up...and you can usually get some bright fish into the middle of october at least...cruise along the shorelines and look for jumpers....you can often find spots with fish and less people than at the pens themselves..and the fish are usually better biters away from the crowds..though they are pretty lockjawed..spinners and wiggle warts have been workin' good ....unfortunately the squaxins don't do any delayed release coho now so the resident coho fishin' has gone way done....
