    Fuck perch.

    Perch are imvasive water rodents and live in warm cesspools. Whitefish are rugged, respectably large, and live in cold, swift mountain rivers, side by side and in harmony with those fish you named. The hate makes no sense.

    Coho (silvers) are soft fighting, marginally decent eating, and have lockjaw 99% of the time. They're trash fish everywhere south of British Columbia in my book. I wish I never had to see one again. I'd rather go nymphing for whitefish than waste my time targeting them.
    Ironically, the only salmon I've ever caught on a fly rod, was a Coho.

    Off the beach in Mukilteo.

    The midget fish fucker, clam digger @dflea seems to have them dialed in.

    @dflea lives in river rodent central from what I've gathered. Satsop river, no?

    I've caught a couple of big males that looked cool, ate OK, but fought like a shoe just like every other coho in the columbia. I was glad. The best ones I've ever seenbor caught were on the peninsula...Queets, John and Soleduck. We used to do a week long slog up there in mid October every year. Camping and clams at Kalaloch and drift boating those three. Nicer coho up there than in the Columbia even when they aren't bigger. They hit better and fight better. Better genetics.

    I think chuck's drunk or needs to catch more b-run coho on the peninsula. They aren't soft fighters - well, they can be, but that's not their reputation anywhere I've been. A fresh buck coho is an excellent eating fish, and coho are only lockjawed until the water cools and gets moving, then they destroy anything you put in front of them, with only occasional periods of lockjaw. I've eaten whitefish a number of times - it doesn't compare to saltwater-caught or late-season coho, IMO.

    Rugged? You can find coho in every little trickle of a creek way the fuck out in the middle of the woods because they bust their asses up every creek and stream that will hold them.

    I'm an oncorhynchus guy. What the hell is a prosopium? Fish with a stupid face?

    Fly guys. They just talk crazy sometimes.

    Note my other post where I granted that the peninsula has some respectable coho. All my scorn really should only be directed at the Columbia.

    Coho are pussies about barriers. They go into headwaters areas in low gradient systems. Whities are way up there above them. As far as getting over falls and through rough canyons, coho rank ahead of chum and pinks only. Even big, fat bodied chinook jump and climb better.

    Coho are good to eat. But they are not big dick fish.

    I’ve been having the most fun in the past few years catching Kokanee.

    I don’t normally agree with ChuckHIV, but he’s right here re:whitefish.

    Disagree on that Coho are marginally good eating unless you’re a total fuck up at cooking.

    I think the Covid was scrambling @chuck brain for a minute, looks like he recovered nicely with the comments about Coho. I grew up fishing Coho on light gear, wee dick nite spoons on the Snohomish, those fuckers will tear it up. Line burning runs with some aerials and good eating too. I don't mind white fish they are indeed an indicator of a healthy river system, i would never target them, but would never throw them on the bank either

    Fishing is boring.

    Kokanee are cool and delicious but that's one I've never tried fishing for. More of an old man pursuit or one for when there are no salmon or steelhead to be had.

    So thats what I should be doing with my time now...
