Finally thought it would be worth posting an island report. Ive been fishing the rivers a bit the last couple weeks with decent succes but no coho. Yesterday the river was blown out and not fishable. With no rain yesterday or last night it was again fishable and new fish were entering. After looking at another river and seeing 25 people in a 200 foot stretch of river i deceided to skip that and try somewhere else. After drive we got there around 9:15 pretty late but i could see alot of fish riseing and jumping. The river was just a bit to high and coloured and it was raining hard. First cast with a bluefox a nice coho followed but didnt hit. Next cast a bit deeper and bam fish on. After a good scrap on my small 8lb spinning outfit(use for hardware) i landed him. Snapped a few pics then revived him and off he went. After that i tried another spot and 5 minutes latter landed a nice coho jack and 2 cutts around 14inch by the end. Didnt fish to long as the bite went off and it was pouring. Here are the pictures of the fish today and a few dark ones from last week. The chinook in this river color up before even entering the river thats why they are so dark in the pictures. All of these were caught on blue fox spinners(my go to lure) #3 silver and #2 orange and brass worked best.
6 or so pound coho
