Hi Noel, I hope you enjoy this photo of some early Coho (Silver) Salmon action on the Kitimat River this season. The fish seem to be coming in good numbers and the boys are having a ball catching them. The fish, this time of year, are chrome bright and silver. Pictured here on the left is my longtime multi season, repeat guest Tony Zarembra and on the right is my good friend Mark Pendlington who most of your readers will recognize as host of the highly rated TV fishing show Sport Fishing BC. This fish was taken with a marabou jig but other systems work as well such as bottom bouncing and fly fishing. The jigs were purchased from Jason Munday at Fish Tales Tackle Shop in Terrace. The rod used was a new North Coast Edition Rapala 8.5 Med/Heavy salmon-steelhead. The reel was an Ambassadeur Rocket spooled up with 25lb Suffix clear blue. I am looking forward to another filming season with Mark. Stay tuned. Photo and caption courtesy of Gill McKean of Westcoast Fishing Adventures
