Cohos and Steelies
My fishing, knife making, guitar building, composer, musician friend, John Beth, just sent some photos of cohos and steelhead that he caught just a couple of days ago on a Lake Michigan Tributary. The kings and cohos were winding down, but the browns have not yet made it into the rivers here. We did get a nice rain, and the river is up nicely, perhaps the browns and fall run steelhead will head in over the next week or so.
A 33 inch male coho in full fall colors.
Female cohos are not as brightly colored as the males, but none-the-less silll look quite lovely on the end of a fly line.
Let's hope this is the lead fish in a big steelhead run.
