Happy Victoria Day weekend and welcome Anglers! 

We have had some really fun days on the water in the past week!

Chinook (Spring) salmon have been abundant and the team has had some excellent catches! As is typical this time of year - the south end of Bowen Island, specifically between Cowan's Point and the "Hump". Catches were recorded at depths mostly between 60 and 120 feet. Anglers found most success with anchovies and a glow green and chartreuse flashers. Also when the Westerly winds were up, some success was found at Seymour or Tunstall Bays and the Westside of Bowen Island.

In order to maximize your chances with this fishery down-riggers are a must. Troll trying various depths and make sure to keep your troll speed up when the wind is up. Sunday brought out approximately 20 boats to the area and our Guide Chris Speed landed a beautiful 30 lbs Tyee Salmon with his guests!
