Good story Sg.

If I'm fishing for food then yes, coho are much more sought after in my book. However, for sport, aggression, and bull-dog tenacity, chum will take it to most hatchery mutant coho that are found in WA. They don't go through moody swings like coho do as they are almost always ready to strike a well presented fly. Tied tail to tail, I'd wager on the chum pulling the coho until it drowns. They are ugly, mean, nasty, and have an "I don't give a crap" attitude. For the most part, you can keep your non-biting coho that would rather twist in circles than acutally fight a good battle. If I'm looking for a good old fashion arse whoppin', I'll take chum over coho any day.
