Coho Question

[Grant Sadler]

I was just woundering what you guys run in front of Coho flies, when trolling in the spring water? I don't want to sound dumm but want to learn, They are a fun fish to catch and I have only caught them by accident

Try a 000 Dodger in red or a 000 Dodger in red, that is standard Coho fare in the spring and it works.

Like Mike said, any small size orange or red flasher. Luhr Jensen, Spin Doctor, or I wanna say a Z flasher. Those on a 1 or 2 color have been good for me in the past.

000 red or 000 orange dodgers. Best coho fly for me is the cheddar fly in blue and copper color

Jeff, How big are the sidekicks?

I use these flashers, but I am by no means an expert:

Grant,

I like to run a 4" Red Sparkle in front of the coho flies. This set up on a 2 color core was hot for me last year in St. Joseph. I have not run the 4" Orange Crush, but it looks good also.

The small red, orange and yellow Spin Doctors have done well for me along with the dodgers mentioned above.

they are about the same size as a luhr jensen O, i use a rapture coho with them....a different look from everybody and their cousin who is out there with standard peanut fly

[killerbe20]

action flashers in both sizes, red and orange. dont be afraid to use the larger size flashers with the smaller coho flies either. you would be surprised how well a peanut or 2'' fly behind a big flasher works.

here's a picture from last year of a coho on a large red Action Flasher

Here are my 3 coho setups. I put the spin doctors on the divers and 00's on one side boards and b&b's on the other sides boards. What ever works best that day gets put on all my boards. I don't get any more creative than these 3 setups because they are proven for me so if the cohos are their it shouldn't take to long to limit out. Josh can attest to this, if the fish are their you should get them pretty easy.

Russ when do you thing the coho will be in this area?

Hopefully in Kenosha/ Racine 2nd week in may Milwaukee 3rd to 4th week. Could be sooner or later all depends on how fast the water warms.
