Coho has to be my favorite salmon to target and great on the fly
With coho first light is my favorite as the fresh fish are in higher numbers and often more aggressive. Once they have been harassed they get more finicky. I would actually throw 3-4inch tinsel flies or buck tails on a floating line at times. Basically stripping the fly above the chum fairly fast. The coho will come up and chase the fly aggressively. You need clear calm water for this.
Way more fun than swinging flies but it’s usually a short window first thing in the morning
The Vedder is not a river for me too many bad experiences with idiots
