MID COAST LAKES
The coho salmon fish-
eries in Siltcoos and
Tahkenitch lakes are just
getting going. With some
recent rain and big tide
series fresh coho should be
migrating into the lakes.
Look to fish near the lake
outlet and by the major
tributaries that enter the
lakes.
Casting or trolling spin-
ners or various plugs can
be effective.
Fishing for the various
warmwater fish species is
fair to good. There are
numerous lakes in the
Florence area that can pro-
vide good opportunity and
have both boat and bank
access.
