Salmon Run Rumor?

I was told by an old timer and PA Game and fish article that there was supposed to be a coho run in sept, any truth to that rumor?

Seems to me a certain "someone" always seems to land one in early fall.    Dave

If they are lost.....

I did not catch any last year, but have caught them in the past.  Nice fish.  Too bad we still don't have them.

I know I'd like to at least see some coho around.  There is certainly enough bait out there to sustain them, my 'finder has been FULL of it.
 
Hey guys, if you want to see salmon again, join the EPSFA and help with grass roots good old fashioned lobbying of the Fish & Boat to stock them again.  It wouldn't be hard to restart since NY has quite a brood stock we could start with.

The bottom 3 are spring/summer coho off the Niagara Bar.  Fall fish are much more colorful, especially in the tribs.
 
 

[Quoute:anyone have any pics of cohos?]

here is a good number of pa coho pics.

What would be nice is to have a pic that shows the distinct features of the Coho's vs the others.  Coho's and King's have more of a V tail, unlike the square Steelie tail.  Coho's only have black dots on the upper portion of their tail.  Steelies and Kings are fully covered.  Kings have black gums, Coho's have white.  We have caught a few in years past, but very rare.  There's a few lost ones out there.  I don't have any Coho pics from the 80's, but here's a dandy King that watches TV.

i got one 3 years ago 32 inches 14 pounds no steel head i should got it # but who cares if you got one fish erie all the time . if i don't make 20 trips a year there some thing wroung fish the lake and the steams have fun up there i wish i was 20 years younger i move up there. BUT THIS LAKE WILL HAVE A DOWN FALL IN 5 TO 10 YEARS I CAN SEE IT HAPPENING THE WATER  WILL GET BAD. I DON'T LIKE TO SEE THIS HAPPEN BUT  IT WILL  EVERY BODY HAS A DREAM' DREAMS DO COME TRUE [ALL I HAVE TO SAY DREAM ON YOU FINE IT SOME DAY]                                                                                                                                      DREAMS DO COME TRUE

That fish looks more like a shark!!!  Man, what a nice one.

What'd that Big King go Bomber?  30? 32?

Nice taxidermy as well, who did that for you?
 
I am not sure you have truly had a fishing thrill until an angry mid to upper 20s or 30s King smashes a wire diver rod so hard you think it is going to tear the boat apart and then listen to 200 to 300 feet of wire get off the reel in about 15 or 20 seconds as the drag whines under the strain.  Then you get to reel that hawg in and feel every head shake, tail thrust, and run that that big boy makes.  You only have to catch about two of those a day before you have to go in because your arms ache.  Nothing in the world like a BIG KING!!!!

Can't see the pic, I even tried pasting in browser

Steelhead

i mean i looked at the pics that egg put up and i saw some similarity to the pic of the fish i got this year. I always thought i was just catching steelies but maybe 1 or 2 were cohos....could i be right?
