Welcome to the frustrating world of Snohomish system coho fishing. Your experience was normal.

these salmon have been skunkin me for years... to this day ive only landed maybe 2 or 3.... even that last big humpy run i only managed to land 1..... im limited to bank fishing.. anyone have any ideas on maybe a better river to fish.... that isnt that far off in the distance.... thinkin about hittin the stilly just outside of silvana... at that snaggin hole bridge.... i like to stay on the other side of the bridge away from the snaggers.... was there the other day scopein it out.... water looked pretty dirty.......

I have no problems with the Snohomish in recent years for the Coho. Go to Stockers farm stand and by a pass to fish his land by the soccer fields. I got one and always fish by the Pilchuk river throwing #4 silver blue foxs or larger dick nites I have had no problems. Good Luck.

Fish on

You know it!
Fishing holes so precious now days.

grrrrrr, thanks bud. well, ill cya all there. glad i got enough to tide me over for a while.

I haven't fished it for silvers in years but it always seemed to me that although they are rolling they do not get aggressive enough to bite until the hole is really crowded with fish. Then they get aggravated or territorial enough to hit. Also I've noticed when there are a lot of leaves floating down stream they won't hit well. Probably because they are spending their time dodging leaves. Plus, in that system I rarely could get one to hit bait. Other systems they will hammer bait but not the Snohomish system.

Thinkin about draggin the boat up there and doin a little coho fishin any advise on where to luanch/fish and what to use?
