Fished with a Tesla today.  We were trolling Lake WA for cutthroat trout off of Juanita. Tesla  had landed two small cutties earlier in the day when my rod took a deep bend in 20 ft of water.  Several jumps and a couple runs under the Hobie and I landed my first salmon of the year.

The fish was released unharmed.  Anyone ever caught a coho in Lake WA?

Wierd.  I know there are Coho in the  fall - they go thru the locks, and continue to up to Issaquah.  Same with Sockeye going to the Cedar River.  Either way, cant say I've ever heard of anyone catching one in April! 
Its hard to tell from the picture, but unless there are big dark spots on its back, and big teeth,  it could be a Sockeye - looks like it has the gold eye thing going on?
Congrats - you guys are fishing maniacs!

I should have gotten some better photos but I wanted to get her back in the water.  There were big spots on the back and black gums.  It spit the lure so I didn't check the teeth.

Not all that common. I landed one from a dock on the lake last spring. Always fun

Could be a landlocked coho. Like a coho version of a kokanee. I know some lakes in canada have them. Pretty awesome catch.
