FISHING REPORT
SUMMARY:
Spring days are here and summer is quickly approaching. While it is still cool on the waters in the morning, some of the afternoons have been really nice and warm. Fortunately, while mornings have been cool – some beautiful salmon on the end of the line have been stimulating and warming us up! We have seen some nice Coho in recent times around Seymour Bay. This should continue well into June as more areas open up with angling opportunities. We have also seen some really nice Chinook while trolling for Coho. Chinook currently being non-retention has required the release of these fish, but there is nothing that beats the thrill of a large feeding Spring salmon on the line! With a number of fun fishing holes to choose from you can’t go wrong.

Winter fishing spots; Areas of Howe Sound such as Tunstal Bay, third marker, Hutt Island and Grace Islets are not disappointing anglers. There are good numbers of Chinook to keep the angler busy.
