Some were good ,some were bad. Not the Fraser . All hooked in the mouth all on the flood tide . They all fought very hard. Fun day on the river.

Caught a lot on the weekend as well, they were fun, all were caught in the beak and was great to feel a solid head shake!  Some were in good shape, they sure have a set of teeth though!

Kellya that is quit an insult to coho to say, you like chum just as much , you must realize coho are the nice chrome beauties of the season and fight awnsome because of all there airabatical movements. ;D

I'm gonna have to second Mark on that kellya, I only fish chum in the squamish, there they are an incredible fish!!!!  But when I'm going for coho they are a bit of a gear bashing pain in the ***!!!!!  But I do like the aggressive look of the males in spawning colors!!!!!! ;D ;D

The location oh ya it could have been the Chehalis or the Harrison or the Stave or the Indian maybe the Cap Heck the Veddar has Chum to even Kanaka the Allouette the Nicklemackle why would I tell every one where my spot is then when I go there next time it will be a GONG SHOW!. Just spend some time exploring the above rivers enjoy nature and you will be successful telling you where i caught them dose't necessarily mean your going to have the same luck as me.

I take it back!!! Chum are ugly fish and i hate them. I handled thousands this week egging ect I didnt see many coho but everyone was chrome and was good to see. I would look through all the chum on the table and find coho. Some nice ones to 17-19lb coho and 25+ chum.
