I'd have to agree with Tom Elliott that Coho (Silvers) are great and are my favorite salmon. For me, Sockeye are close behind. I don't think there are any salmon species that I haven't tried prepared various ways. Cohos are abundant and easy to catch here (usually). Of course, there is nothing quite as exciting as hooking into a big King on light tackle. We've had a record run of Chum Salmon on the Nisqually and South Sound this year, and they get BIG too. I guess I'm spoiled as I'm not a fan of Chum, but smoked they are OK. We have been seeing them jump a lot this year, probably seals and sea lions after them. I think we had an otter with one this morning on our float until an eagle chased it off and finished the fish. Hmmm...I think we'll have Coho tonight! Happy New Year to everyone, and if you're ever in South Puget Sound...give us a ring.
