Hit the Stilly for another try at Coho. River was in great shape from the needed rain over the weekend. The flow was moderate but not excessive, and the coloring in the water was about perfect. Saw a few Coho jumping, and a lot of ugly chums. I wasn't able to hook up with a Coho, but I did bring in an ugly 17 lb chum. Took me a good 15 minutes to bring in, as I was being cautious with my 14 lb line. Can't keep Chum this year, and I don't think I would have wanted to anyway. He was pretty ugly.
Still hoping that there are more Coho on the way. I've seen a decent amount in the river over the past couple weeks, but not as many as I expected. Good luck out there.

Nice report! I picked up a chum as well today on the Snoho. Big ole' bugger, surprised me taking a plug and showing up early both.

Thanks for the comments all. Yes, it does seem early for the chum. Usually they start showing up toward the tail end of the silvers, late October/early November it seems.
Goodtime - Appreciate the verification on the regs. From what I've read on your posts, you always seem to be on top of things.
Leif - I was fishing near Dike Road, just out of Arlington...couple miles downstream from the forks.
I'm going to try to go out again this evening after work. If I do, I'll be sure to post another update.

I fish down near the sand and gravel. My access point is via my parent's property along the river. There's no public access at the spot that I fish.
