In odd numbered years on the Fraser River, the Pink Salmon (Humpies) migration starts in July and can sometimes be in excess of 15 million salmon. At weights ranging from 5-8 pounds, Pink salmon are the smallest of all Pacific Salmon, but some can reach 10 pounds. Pink salmon will savagely take spinners, spoons and flies. With the abundance of Pink salmon available, this is a great way to introduce youngsters to fishing, as multiple hook ups can be expected throughout the day. As leaves start to turn into their autumn colors in September, the next of the Pacific salmon start entering our Coastal streams: the Coho (Silver) salmon. These salmon can be quite elusive, but when we find them, the fishing action can be non-stop. Coho salmon will readily take spinners, spoons and flies, and when hooked, they put on an acrobatic air show like no other. Coho salmon range in weight from about 5 pounds to well into the teens.
