Just got back from 2 days of fishing in Barkley Sound. Stayed in Rainy Bay, so tried Pill Tuesday a.m. - no luck. Moved to Harbour Entrance where we managed 2 springs - 1 under 10, and one about 20. Many, many shakers in the area. Moved to Swale around 11, hit one in the high teens, and lost one niece fish there. Yesterday, we went back to Harbour entrance, just shakers. Tried Austin, one around 10. Moved to Swale at noon and hit a screamer - took out over 150 yds of line - crazy fast fish. Spit the coho killer 5 feet from the boat. Dropped the gear again and hit another in less than 2 minutes. Another screamer, but not as long a run. Landed a spring about 20#'s. We tried anchovie, hootchies and the green spatterback coho killer. Every fish lost and landed was on the beat up green coho killer. Had to rebend it a few times. 6 ft leader, red flasher with yellow stripe - 39'. Go get em!
