10/16/2013 2:09:00 PMDo you fish under I-5 bridge or Tukwila Commmunity Center? Where's a good place? You would recommend morning? Thanks for any help.
losaturn
10/16/2013 2:16:00 PMAny place you can find on the lower river, should have some fish moving through. Low light, seems to fish better. You still gotta watch the tides. If the rivers not moving, the fishing gets really slow.

10/16/2013 5:01:00 PMSorry to ask this stupid question but what is consider lower river (from where to where)? Below I-5 consider lower river? Thanks.

10/16/2013 9:20:00 PMnice job! but i thought the limit on the Green was 3 adult coho - total of 6 is a combination of pink, coho, chum?
losaturn
10/16/2013 9:52:00 PMDaily limit is 6 salmon. Only 3 can be Adult Coho or Chum. Meaning it's possible to keep up to 6 silvers if at least 3 of them are jacks. You have to catch them, before you retain a limit of Adult Coho or chum. Once you get your adult limit, you have to stop fishing.

10/17/2013 8:28:00 AMAh got it! Newbie question - what's the size range for Jack and what's min size for adult? And do these sizes apply to both Coho and Chinook?
losaturn
10/17/2013 9:44:00 AMAll salmon have to be a min size of 12". Chinook Jacks are less than 24", and Adults are over 24". Coho Jacks are less than 20", and Adults are over 20".

10/17/2013 10:58:00 AMThx, losaturn! Btw were you drifting or float drifting the eggs? If float, what was your leader length from float to hook?
losaturn
10/17/2013 11:17:00 AMDrifting with a 3ft leader. When I float fish for these fish, I use a 20" leader.

10/17/2013 4:04:00 PMWhen do you use float and when do you switch to drift? Do you read the water level and flow? Newbie guy trying to catch his first coho. :-) Might give it a try this weekend at the lower river and any help would be appreciated.
losaturn
10/17/2013 9:01:00 PMAll about preference. I float fish only in slower deep holes, with some form of woody structure. You can drift eggs almost anywhere there is some current.

10/17/2013 11:33:00 PMCool! Thanks. Hey, can I be your fishing buddy? :-) I wouldn't mind hanging out the weekend and learn some lesson. :-) What do you think of Codiga Park area? I want to give a try this weekend.
