Put it over an open flame (a candle will do very nicely) til it begins to darken, then insert into cold water.

I like a cold croc with a pink line on the side.

Hands down the Blue Fox Vibrax spinner in sizes 3-5 (silver blade with any body colour) and the Pen-tac BC Steel spoon in 2/5 and 2/3 oz (silver plated, maybe dressed with various colours of prism tape) do it for me ;D

nice fish boys. rodney, are you selling spoons and spinners this year?

Blue kitimats are the bomb. I hardley ever target coho but for the last 2 weeks of september last year I decided I would. Blue kitimat in a backwash every day after school produced at least 1 fish a day (almost hatchery every time). Crocs with a blue stripe (silver blade) also work very well. Koho spoons in blue work as well. Use the biggest one you can find, the bigger the better IMO. Try switching up colours or sized if other people are fishing spoons around you. ;)

rvr fishing products 50/50 spoon, works for steelhead too.
iron head, silver koho spoon with blue scale and red stripe on the back side, no red stripe, no purchase
-
All the staples have been mentioned, size depends on flow and depth, lures need to be 'deep enough'.
Crocs: 3/8oz - 1/2oz

Koho: #45,#55 (Ironhead is heavier for a similar shape/style spoon; agree about the red stripe on the back)

in the vedder, I use a copper blade - with hammer marks
or sometimes a silver blade that is smooth
works for steelhead too
-
I'm partial to green scale Koho
-
Clarki weren't the last Coho you caught were in 1994 !
-
Red striped Crocs have been the ticket for me (not that I have targeted coho a lot). But I have seen anglers having great success on the Chehalis using Blue fox lures.
-
My home-made spinners work like a charm for coho spring & steelhead. #5 silver/chrome Colorado for tea coloured water, #3 for clear but moving water, #1 for gin clear, slow moving pool, #6 Indiana gold for Steelhead and #3 if clear water. Dead drift under a float is better than spinning it. I also used a large silver spoon for steelhead to search out a fish in big or deep water.

You are a bitter, jaded, man Morty.
Normally, it is embarrasing to outfish you. This year it will be a pleasure.

Sorry I missed your post earlier. Next week I'll have some.
-
ok ive always fished roe with floats , so my question is, whats the norm for fishing spoons, with out float or with
thanks
-
No float.... all you need is a rod, reel with line and your collection of spoons. Cast them out and retreive at various speeds (makes spoon go into diff zones) until you get a hit. Normally coho will attack in the 1st 10 casts. Spinners are best under a float.
-
Generally speaking without floats.
