I have personally heard that from the mouth of fisheries that they expect it to close then, and the guides in Renfrew are all prepared and notifying their clients that it could be closing on that date.

Why spread bull$hit rumors. Your contact at DFO must be talking out of his a$$. Check the notice list.

Looks good enough to me BGM! I hope that they don't change it. How is the salmon fishing out there? Is it starting to slow down?

Bod, how big are the Hali you are catching on the banks? Average?

Just dropped my friend at the airport after three days of fishing. We fished the bank the first morning and caught lots of small springs and some nice Coho. We ran back in and hit Walbran at around 11:00 and got two Springs in the high twenties. The next day we tried Camper for an hour or so with nothing so we ran to the NE corner and drifted for Hali's and got them but it was a bit slow. Yesterday we ran to the bank again and it was fairly snotty there. Lost our first two fish and flashers to Sealions and it was pretty spotty after that. My deck hand was getting green so we ran back for a few hours on dry land.....lol We fished East Point for the afternoon tide change and got our Springs in short order but nothing bigger than about twenty. Pulled the boat last night so this just might be my last report till next Spring! Crappy!!! Good luck!

Yesterday I trolled up my Hali's on either end of the tack. They are around 18 - 20 pounds. I don't fish this area much but assume bait fishing may produce bigger fish. Springs down deep, over 200 feet were good for a limit between 15 - 25 pounders and lots of Coho & Pinks to shake off but a fair amount of clipped fish.
And the Sealions are brutal.

Just got back from Renfrew yesterday night, now home permanently for the summer. Like Bod says, fishing is good on the bank. Springs are down deep and seem to bite best on a white turd or 6" glow spoon. Coho are all around, just gotta sort through the wilds. Pinks are now there in numbers. Halibut are good on bait, if you drop at the right time can be limited out in short order. Mostly smaller fish but the odd bigger one, picked up a flattie right on the upper edge of the limit (125cm) yesterday near the ranch. Generally water has been quite calm!

Fishing on the beach was good all weekend for us. picked up 3-5 fish each morning
there were fish being caught at first light, and there were bites happening all morning. the fish seem to be in small schools so when you get into one during a bite we often hit 2-3 in a few minutes.
got spooled on a big fish monday morning too, with the kicker at full throttle chasing the fish down. 350yds gone in 1 run!
Bank sounds ok, halibut are hit and miss.

Just back for the weekend. Fished the beach Saturday. Nothing, not a sniff. Went out for coho. Lots of wilds. Managed 3 hatchery. My son got a 17 pound coho. His first one.
Sunday, out for coho. Managed to get 4 hatchery, biggest around 10 pounds. Scraped up one spring at Camper before heading in. Lots of pinks out there, and lots of undersized springs mixed in with the coho as well.
All in all not fantastic fishing, but came home with some freezer fish.

Lil slow in the bay. Caught a nice 10 lb wild the other day but that was it. 5 mins out, boom, then nothing for quite a while. I am sure it will pick up. Was out today, one tiny spring, a handful of Orca close to shore, I am sure this slowed things down. Very slow day for me. What about river mouth, is it open for fishing, casting from shore?
