The epic life story of a wild coho salmon comes to an end in the Oregon Coast Range – BLM video: Scott Lightcap Last Friday, a BLM fisheries biologist doing a spawning survey in southwest Oregon found one of the great natural stories that defines the Pacific Northwest: A salmon returning home to the stream of its birth to lay eggs and die.

Coho salmon can still be aggressive feeders at this time while they congregate in bays, estuaries, and river mouths before heading up the rivers to spawn. Fishing for Coho at this time is normally action packed and fast paced. Alexis and Fred had the chance to enjoy a great day fishing for Coho with @npspeyghost in Terrace BC last year. @
