From Cali to Coho Alley, May 20, 2012

The late spring bite had the fish move from the Niagara River Bar to the extreme west end of the lake in a matter of a week. The real story of the late May Lake Ontario fishery is the unreal numbers of coho that are being caught. We are catching as many coho in a day then what we would catch in an entire season. When it comes to the charters, the cohos are the headliner of the show. Rods are moving regularily and these fish are fine table fare. Check out this video of Jim from California that flew in to meet with Ken from Ajax, Ontario. Many fish came off before getting to the net, and some short strikes left you setting rods without a fight at all. Still Jim and Ken managed limits and had a fish fry that evening.
