Where is the spot please

[@jacksonmorris7821]

Why are you casting right handed and then swapping to your left to retrieve? Surely just swap the reel handle around?

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Are spinning reels better than a bait caster reel for this type of fishing with spoons?

[@FishingwithRod]

The spinning rod and reel outfit is definitely way easier than the baitcasting outfit. I've done it with both, but if you are going to cast and retrieve the spoon all day, then you'd want to go with the spinning setup.

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

@@FishingwithRod thanks for the advice Rod!

[@maxrossiytsev5615]

I like how whenever u hook into a fish the other 2 guys follow you like a dog😂😂

[@briangrendahl4635]

Not dogs vultures

[@oldpolak5203]

They just want to cast across his line . Some people are just like that .

[@FishingwithRod]

It's all good. 😅 It was a pretty big run and I like to move around when spoon fishing anyway, so it worked out.

[@robbarber7253]

Its the Vedder river the shopping mall of salmon fishing. You might as well set up hot dog stands and cellphone case vendors there ffs

[@FishingwithRod]

@@robbarber7253 There are a couple of hot dog stands actually, they seem to be quite popular among both anglers and other recreational users enjoying their days in the region. Are cel phone cases in high demand along the river too?

[@headfakez]

I have never caught a coho in my life but seems like they are excellent fighters. Looks like you had a great time!

[@FishingwithRod]

They sure are. They don't just pull, but they often come toward you right away after being hooked, head shake, leap, roll, and this makes them come off the hook pretty easily. It's so fun, yet so challenging and frustrating at times. Love it!

[@ahmedb4316]

another great video, Rod. Keep doing what you do! My favourite way to fish. Keeps me engaged.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thank you Ahmed. 🙂

[@jjfamily9432]

Only a spinner?! Amazing!! Going out Sunday morning to try and catch me some salmon!

[@FishingwithRod]

Yeah, people don't realize how simple the setup is for catching coho salmon. A spinning rod and reel setup, a box of lures and you're set!

[@justinlee42]

The switching of hands on the spinner is interesting. :) I’m more intrigued by how long you let the spinner sit on the bottom at times. Seemed like it had to have been sitting on the bottom for a couple seconds or more before you turned it on, and bam. ! I need to try this more.

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Great video Rod!

Such fun! How about hair ties for your two piece rods? Plenty of stretch and durability...cheers!

[@simonpgreen]

great clips as always, find it funny that you cast then swap around the rod to the other hand to start the retrieve

[@FishingwithRod]

Yeah it's a habit that I've had for 40 years now, just used to it.

[@shawncarlson705]

Good morning !!! Going fishing today. What would you do for fast moving water. We have got alot of rain in the last week but this week it should go back down some.

[@FishingwithRod]

I don't fish fast sections of the river, always look for slow moving, walking speed water to almost stagnant water where coho salmon would hold.

[@lovethemack]

looks like Im early for this season lol. Dont forget other shapes for spoons, Gibbs K# Wobbler is great for shallow water and slow retrieve, plus great action

[@vanguy16]

Hey Rod nice job with the spin rod and lures. New to CW and just getting back into fishing from a 25 year hiatus. Curious if that's AP, as I really don't know areas to go except the obvious. All I have is a spincast rod and reel and would love to get out just don't know where to get away from all the shoulders and snaggers

[@Our_Whippets]

Hi Rod .. I bought the same prime lure and a bit cinfused as to the action ... it has different actuon than a croc and different from a spinner ... not sure the speed in order to get the proper action

[@FishingwithRod]

They're shaped differently, so you'd need to adjust your retrieve speed etc.

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Great fishing day! Thanks for sharing.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks for watching!

[@tomeiland2510]

Great video Rod. Coho fishing has been tough for bank fishermen in Oregon this season. It is nice to hear your tips for low, clear water conditions.

[@FishingwithRod]

This particular river system is low but remains high enough so tha fish are still pushing through. The low and clear conditions definitely make them behave quite differently to a normal year, so we have to adapt when targeting them. I'm used to catching coho salmon in pretty shallow waters, but this is the first time we are finding fish in sometimes 2 feet of water where they'd still bite.

[@nw_angler]

Western Washington rivers are nearly all closed. Can't even TRY to catch fish in the bad water conditions.

[@FishingwithRod]

[@FishingwithRod]

Why? Just about all the spots I've fished this year have had no one around.

[@EaStxVaNxiNc]

What type of line are you using

[@FishingwithRod]

My main line is PowerPro braided, 15lb. My leader is Seaguar STS fluorocarbon, 15lb. The entire setup can be seen at kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKqWm6ufqq10iq8

[@edgarcruz7023]

What is that shimano clarus holding up I just recently bought one!

[@FishingwithRod]

I can't remember which model it was, either the 8'6" 8-12lb or the 9" 6-10lb. Both are excellent for coho salmon. The series has now been discontinued but you can still find some leftovers at the stores.

[@michaelamadorii3179]

Very good Coho catches! Been slow this year due to the weather...

[@WestCoastWheelman]

Hey Rod I remember you said you use an Albright knot for your leader, but I have recently learned how to tie an FG knot and I totally swear by it now - you should check it out. It takes some practice and good dexterity to do it properly and cinch it down tight enough, but the end result is amazing. It's so low profile it flies through guides like it's not even there, and it even slides through the guide on my level wind reel no problem. Now I'm using longer leaders for this kind of river fishing even though the fish aren't exactly line shy, I find the little bit of extra stretch provides a great buffer for the hard fighting fish. Just like all fishing knowledge, there's a bajillion how to tutorial videos here on KZbin, and seems there's about half a dozen good ways to tie the FG. I am a total convert and will evangelize the awesomeness of the FG everywhere I go!

[@FishingwithRod]

Yeah I've been told to try ou FG knots numerous times, so will get on with that eventually, maybe over the winter when I am not doing a million things at once. 🙂

[@alejandroguillen8790]

Sweeeet!! Coho time!!

[@FishingwithRod]

Yesss! 🙂

[@armondfelix1676]

If you are ever out in whatcom County, Ferndale area. The coho salmon are still very right and chrome this way and spinners are what they're going after, it's a hit and miss with twitching Jigs. We are in dire need of some rain though all the river systems this way are hurting for some water it's making it hard for the fish to want to bite at all.

[@terryschmunk1956]

do you use a mono leader in front of your braid and how long is enough?

[@FishingwithRod]

I tie around 4ft of fluorocarbon leader to the end of the braided main.

[@GoFishKiwi]

Hi, I am in NZ. Is this video shot in the US or Canada? I am going to Canada next month and am planning on trying to fish for Coho

[@FishingwithRod]

[@FishingwithRod]

I don’t guide, but I can recommend quite a few guides/options if that’s what you are looking for. Best to DM me on Instagram or Facebook for that. 👍

[@CjNedeau]

Do you have any tips on not getting snagged were allowed to run triple hooks where I’m at and knowing my luck I’d just get snagged every cast throwing in that

[@FishingwithRod]

Nothing particular. Don't let your lure sink too much, avoid taking risk by staying away from snaggy areas.

[@CjNedeau]

@@FishingwithRod thank you rod much appreciated I actually just got into steelhead fishing this spring and I’ve seen about 10 king salmon this month so far been trying beads out but after watching this I wanna bust out the little Cleo’s!!!

@@FishingwithRod we also have cohos but there’s not as many

[@chensteven4936]

Excellent video! Just have a few questions about your gear... what type of rod and what line test were you using? I noticed that on your spinner attached with a swivel, does this swivel come with the spinner or do you hook them together?

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks. The entire setup is explained in details at kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKqWm6ufqq10iq8 Prime lures come with the swivel etc needed already, you just have to tie onto them.

[@jasoncuillerier7319]

I got a coho with a silver spinner last week. Huge fight. Probably one of the best I've had.

[@FishingwithRod]

Awesome! More to come.

[@wadepitcher2211]

I love the hooks on prime lures .I have been fishing them for a couple of seasons .I will have to try the wider spoon you have been using .The ones i have are more like a croc profile. Another great video rod .Thanks. Broccoli elastic lol

[@FishingwithRod]

Ah you got the wigglers, I haven't tried them yet but they look great! I was a little skeptical with the broader spoons since I usually like the slimmer profile, but these have turned out so awesome... I actually did run other lures through the same stretches of river too but these ones have outfished the others by a lot.

[@Beyar90]

Does the Vedder still have coho in late October/early November? Or do you think this weekend is too late? Haven't had a chance to get out yet.

[@FishingwithRod]

Absolutely. The coho salmon fishing usually doesn’t taper off until mid November.

[@Beyar90]

@@FishingwithRod thanks so much! I live in Coquitlam so it's a bit of a commute. Hopefully the rain eases slightly. Missed my chance with the beautiful weather we were having so far.

[@Sethyfisher]

switching from a clarus to a g.loomis is quite the price change lol. Any reason for the different rod choices? Which one do you like better?

[@FishingwithRod]

Yeah the price point jumps up quite a bit lol, you're basically paying for a better experience. I definitely like the G.Loomis rod. It's just lighter to use, the blank has better response, etc. Don't get me wrong though, the Clarus rod is fantastic too and you'd catch just as many fish with it as the G.Loomis. In this video, I started out by using the Clarus rod which is rated 8-12lb, because there were chinook salmon mixed in with the coho. In the second half, I switched to the G.Loomis E6X rated 6 to 10lb, a much lighter rod because pretty much all of the fish I was targeting in the run were coho salmon.

[@Sethyfisher]

@@FishingwithRod Makes sense! truly appreciate the time and detail you put into the response! Thanks Rod.

[@thomask3951]

Nice video I was fishing there yesterday

[@FishingwithRod]

[@sidthekid07]

Rod would Tasmanian devils work you think as a spoon alternative? Thanks, love your videos

[@FishingwithRod]

I'm sure they would, but not sure why you would use them as a replacement of spoons as they already work so well. Tasmanian Devils were originally designed as freshwater trolling lures used in lakes. They don't really cast that well to begin with. It's just funny that I started using them over 30 years ago and there suddenly was a hype on them during this year's pink salmon season. My guess is that TD's would not swim as well as spoons like Prime Lures in the flowing water.

[@mitchelmorhart7934]

I cast and reel the same way you do! Hold the line with right hand, cast, flip the bail with left, swap hands, reel with right

What has been your learning over the years catching coho based on color? Thank you and best of luck on the river.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks George. I tend to stick with the lighter, silvery colours in clear water, and darker colours when water clarity goes down.

[@afishingmagician]

@@FishingwithRod Welcome!

[@thecount1001]

Rod, are these coho actually spawning where you're fishing, or is this well before they begin to pair up and dig redds?

[@FishingwithRod]

James, there are two components of the Chilliwack River coho salmon stocks - Hatchery and wild fish. The section of the river which is open to sport fishing is not where coho salmon spawn. Hatchery adult coho salmon travel through this section and end up at the hatchery which is just above the upper fishing boundary. The hatchery collects a small percentage of these fish and use them to meet their brood target, and the rest of these fish are in fact transported to the fish processor. They do not contribute to the recruitment of the population. Wild coho salmon, primarily spawn in the off channels in the upper watershed, which is much further upstream. Some fish also travel into Chilliwack Lake and spawn in the creeks which feed into the lake. This fishery has very little impact on the overall population, and is in fact a very sustainable fishery in comparison to other fisheries across this province. Known as the terminal fishery, it allows anglers to target fish stocks that are sustainable. On the other hand, mixed stock fisheries that take place in the Fraser River or the ocean, have the possibility to intercept stocks of concern beside targeting sustainable stocks, so the impact/footprint is a lot bigger.

[@johnhancock7746]

Hey Rod, congrats on all the catches!! Just caught my very first coho last week on a spinner!!! 😀 I am going to try a spoon next time I go out as well. 2 questions if you dont mind from a novice. Have you ever tried fishing for coho with a kastmaster and if so any luck? And second, do you use scent and if so, what would you recommend?

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks John. I have used a Kastmaster before, but not for this fishery. I used to use them for various saltwater fisheries. They probably would work. I don't add scent to my lures, in my opinion it's not really necessary. Take today for example, I was out briefly this afternoon and first cast resulted in a very good fish, hatchery coho salmon around 8 or 9lb. Third cast hooked up another one that was just as nice but popped off the hook. The key is to look for fish that have not been disturbed for a long period of time. They will almost always go for anything moving in those scenarios.

Great fishing Rod ! Question , is the Vedder classified water ? I've never been to the island and mostly fish zone 6 . Most rivers there are class one or two . It can get pretty pricey since I live in Alberta . Been fishing BC since the seventies and seen the salmon fishing opportunities disappear lately. Between fish farm and climate change the future looks uncertain . You are right about coho loving spinners , my son makes all the ones we use . Hammerd Colorado are the best in silver . Good luck bud .

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks. The Vedder is not classified water so you just need your basic freshwater fishing licence and conservation surcharges for salmon and steelhead, depending on what you are targeting.

[@oldpolak5203]

Thats how it's done with the baitcaster reels , everybody does it. so when you switch to spinning its hard to kick the habit. I learned fishing with the spinning reel so I have a hard time with the baitcaster retrieve style that all bc anglers use . I get a lot of punishment 🤣

Until when will salmon be caught? November?......
