Oregon Fishing Charter offers guided salmon fishing trips along the beautiful Oregon coast where you can catch Chinook and Coho salmon.

Coho and Chinook salmon are two of the most sought-after species among anglers, primarily due to their exceptional fighting abilities and delicious taste. Both species are native to the Pacific Northwest and are known to put up a spirited fight, making them a thrilling challenge for fishermen.

From a fishing perspective, Coho salmon, also known as silver salmon, are known for their acrobatic displays and aggressive strikes. They are a medium-sized salmon, typically weighing between 8 and 12 pounds. When hooked, Coho salmon often make long, powerful runs and frequently leap out of the water, adding excitement to the battle. This energetic fight, coupled with their speed and agility, makes Coho salmon a popular target for anglers.

Chinook salmon, commonly referred to as king salmon, are the largest species of Pacific salmon, with some individuals weighing over 50 pounds. They are highly prized by anglers for their strength, size, and endurance. When hooked, Chinook salmon are known for their deep, powerful runs and dogged determination. They may not display the same acrobatics as Coho salmon, but their sheer power and ability to strip line off the reel make them a formidable and exhilarating opponent.

Both Coho and Chinook salmon are renowned for their rich, flavorful meat. Coho salmon have a delicate, mild flavor and moderately firm texture, making them a versatile choice for various cooking methods. Chinook salmon, on the other hand, are prized for their high-fat content, which results in a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth texture and a rich, succulent taste.
