Coho Salmon Fishing
The Coho, one of the most popular sports fishing species of the Lake Huron salmon fishing season, is an ideal sports fish for either new or experienced anglers. The coho salmon fishing season is open year round on the lake. In the early spring and fall the Coho move towards the mouth of the Spanish river or the North Channel, providing excellent opportunities for shallow water coho salmon fishing. The fish can reach up to 20 pounds at this time, but most will weigh between 12 and 15 pounds.
When the fish are starting to move from the deep lake waters to the shallower waters by the mouth of the rivers, the best coho salmon fishing option is slow trolling using silver or brightly colored spinners or Rapala lures that look like small bait fish. Some fishermen also use downriggers set at the depth indicated by a fish finder, usually between 50 to 70 foot depths, for coho salmon fishing.
Chinook Salmon Fishing
Chinook salmon, also known as King salmon, are also popular as a Lake Huron salmon fishing variety. The Chinook salmon is typically larger than the Coho with some weighing in at over 30 pounds, while most average about 20 pounds. Chinook, like Coho, tend to follow predictable season patterns which makes choosing when to plan a trip for Lake Huron salmon fishing relatively easy.
Chinook salmon fishing is popular in the river mouth area where chinook are waiting for the spring rains to raise the level of the river water so they can move upstream to spawn. Many chinook salmon fishing enthusiasts report that using eggs or egg skein, or rattle baits will cause the chinook salmon to strike on a hook. In addition many Lake Huron salmon fishing enthusiasts report that silver, white and gold spinners and lures at the murky water at the mouth of the river really makes this lures show up in the water.
