I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I seem to be having the hardest time catching a coho around here.

I've been to the only spot I know on the green just about every other morning the last week or so and haven't had a bite. I fish around the 405 and Southcenter Pkway bridges in Tukwila. Of course when the pinks were running I was hammering them with jigs and DN's, but since the pink run is over, I haven't been able to hook into a silver yet.

I've fished mostly DN's, jigs, spinners, and even drifting/floating eggs. Since I haven't caught a silver yet, I have like zero confidence in everything I throw out right now.

I see silvers turning/jumping out there every now and then, so I know they are out there, I just don't seem to have the right mojo.

I keep seeing reports of people pulling silvers out of the Green every other day, am I just fishing the wrong part of the river? I can't recall haven't such a hard time hooking into a fish before.

I'll keep going out since I love fishing and being out there anyways, and hopefully make a run to one of the more distant and productive rivers in the next week or so.
