The average size for the hens we caught yesterday were around 6-8 lbs; but there were some huge bucks that were definitely 15+ lbs. And that Coho was absolutely the biggest Coho I've ever seen! When it jumped the first time I thought it was a big Chum. I was totally surprised when it turned out to be a beautiful Coho. That was one lucky fisherman!!!

11/12/2013 10:19:00 AMhey tele_maniac, thx for the report! was planning to go out this weekend and you've got me even more pumped now! how was the river running? when i was there last fri it was too high and fast - over 2,000 CFS. looks like it's gone down. will be great if the rain stays consistently mild and keeps the river level.

11/12/2013 6:26:00 PMHey maniac, great report! I fished this morning in Auburn around 15th st/Harvey road area, Saw some schools running through with some big fish rollin. I was floating jigs and couldn't get a taker. I'll try the black corky and pink yarn tomorrow i guess, Chum are good eatin fish btw, not just egg donors.

A lady near me was catching fish with a purple corky and green yarn. Most the other people were being successful floating pink or orange jigs.
PS I'm an equal opportunity carnivore. I don't think there is such thing as a bad salmon as long as they are fresh.

Don't be afraid to throw some hardware at them. I've had good luck with a purple UV Brads wiggler and #5 Blue fox in blue, purple and chartreuse. Keep at 'em!
