Sorry guys, it has been awhile since my last report. I guess this is what happens during the busy time of the year....no time for anything but fishing. Can I put forward a motion for 36 hour days? Maybe then I could have enough time to kick back a bit and enjot the summer off the water. Oh well, the life of a fishing guide. Fishing has been awesome all summer so far. We are catching limits of Chinook salmon (Kings) from 10 to 33 pounds. There was a 57 pound King taken a couple weeks ago and a 50.2 taken earlier as well. Those are the two largest I'm aware of so far. Yesterday morning we had our 6 Spring (King) salmon limit by 9am. There are also lots of Pink salmon around if you want them and a few Coho (silvers) as well. Halibut fishing is also very good. Lots of 20 to 40 pound hali's.
I made my annual trip up to Nootka Sound with clients and had a fantastic trip. The first 3 days we played 48 springs. (Kings) As always the inside waters were flat calm and the weather was sunny and warm. We were in the low 90's for a couple of the days. Unfortunately the outside waters were too rough most days with strong westerly offshore winds blowing 30 mph and gusting to 43 mph. So no halibut fishing this year. This is a picture of the last morning (until 10 am) of fishing in Nootka Sound on the day I towed the boat back home.
