Most coho are small creek spawners. They can find their way well up into tiny creeks that are no more than a series of beaver ponds. I recall a creek (a tributary of the Green) that ran through a farmer's pasture beside the road, a creek that could be jumped across at any point, that would be literally choked with dead coho by January. There is a tiny creek which drains into the Tolt that used to host substantial numbers of good-sized coho even though there wasn't enough water in it to cover their backs.
