The Buoy 10 Chinook fishery is winding down, and the action has been great. The fun isn’t over for anglers on the lower Columbia River. The coho fishing has been better than expected and fishing for them in the main stem Columbia will keep anglers busy for months. There are over 350 thousand coho expected to enter the Columbia River. Anglers will be shifting their destinations to pursue these prized fish as the coho make their way up the river. One of the most popular coho fishing areas that I have experienced was off the mouth of the Klickitat River. The fishing here will start as early as mid-September and peaks in October, and there are coho anglers that will keep at it until the end of the season in December. In our area, I have fished for them below Wanapum Dam from the shore, without success, but it’s all about timing. When there is a good burst of fish moving up the Columbia it is possible to get bright coho below the dam. I am concerned that very low and warm water may have a negative impact on the coho fishery on the Icicle River in Leavenworth.
