Fishing coho salmon around Penetanguishene

Coho salmon fishing near Penetanguishene starts from a well-documented base: 226 documented waters within range of town are confirmed to hold coho salmon, and each one is re-scored every morning from live weather and water-temperature data. The ranking on this page is today's read of the strongest bets, not a static best-of list.

Start with Little Lake (Honey Harbour), today's top scorer at 77 (about 17 km from Penetanguishene, roughly 229 m of water at its deepest). If it is busy or the wind is wrong, Harris Creek scores 77 (about 316 km from Penetanguishene). Rocklyn Creek at 77 is the third card worth keeping in hand. All of these numbers come from the same daily model, so they are directly comparable water to water.

Coho (silver) salmon are smaller and generally more aggressive and acrobatic than chinook, known for hard, sustained runs and repeated jumps once hooked - a big part of why they're a favorite light-tackle target where both species are available. In open water, trolling smaller spoons and flies behind flashers or dodgers, at somewhat shallower depths than typically used for chinook, is standard.

These scores are not season-long ratings. They are rebuilt every morning from fresh weather and water-temperature data, most recently for September 15, 2026, so the best coho salmon water near Penetanguishene this week may not be the best one next week.
