Overall, OCNOregon Coastal Natural coho constitute the largest aggregate of coho populations in the United States outside Alaska.

Since 1965, an index live-count method has been used to annually estimate the number of coho salmon in the escapement to the Skagit River.

Redoubt Lake has good populations of both coho and sockeye salmon and minor runs of pink salmon and a few chum salmon. The sockeye run peaks during early July, and the coho run begins in August.
