Coho, also known as silver salmon, is a species of fish found in the North Pacific Ocean. They are known for their bright silver skin and distinctive dark spots on their backs. Coho salmon typically weigh between 8 to 12 pounds and can grow up to 30 inches long. They are anadromous, meaning they are born in freshwater, migrate to the ocean, and return to freshwater to spawn.
Coho salmon are popular among anglers and are valued for their rich flavor and firm texture. They are often caught during their spawning runs, which occur in late summer to early fall. Coho are also an important part of the ecosystem, serving as a food source for various wildlife, including bears and eagles.
