Fall Coho

When autumn settles into the Sea to Sky corridor, something special happens on the Squamish River: the Coho return. Known as the “silver bullets” of the Pacific, Coho are prized for their strength, speed, and aggressive takes.

From late September through November, the Squamish becomes a prime destination for fall salmon fishing. Crisp mornings, snow-dusted peaks, and fiery autumn leaves set the backdrop as fresh, ocean-bright Coho push upriver. Whether you’re swinging a fly through soft seams or casting spoons along the gravel bars, the chance of connecting with a chrome fish is always near. Beyond the fishing, fall on the Squamish is pure West Coast beauty. Eagles gather, the mountains glow, and the river teems with life. It’s a season that offers not just great fishing, but a connection to the cycles of nature that define this place.
