Any word on Area 23/123 limit drops or size restrictions? Planning to wet a line soon.
No changes to anything yet. Arear 123 is hatchery coho only, 2 per day must be 30 cm. Area 23 can be wild or hatchery or a combination of both, 2 per day.Any word on Area 23/123 limit drops or size restrictions? Planning to wet a line soon.
Sockeye are likely to close on the 15th of July. Hasn't been a great run this year.Ill be in Grappler come August for a week. Be fishing everyday and was wondering if there are still any Reds to be had near Bamfield at that time or if the run is over. If so, what rig would you run on a meat pole out the stern?
I've been watching the sockeye escapement reports and _if_ I am reading them correctly it looks like Sproat is above historical highs, and Great Central is below. Any thoughts on why there is such a disparity between the two? Last weekend I was paddling around the Sproat river where it comes into the lake and there were healthy amounts of sockeye coming through so I'm curious why the GC fish are missing. If you take the two runs combined things net out right down the fairway of the averages and I'm wondering if loads of GC fish spontaneously decided that Sproat looked more attractive when they hit the confluence.
So fished Swale yesterday bout an hour after morning tide change. Netted two. One around 12 the other 14lb Purple flasher and anchovie. ''Twas a good couple of hoursHey. Heading up tomorrow for a few days and will be on the far side so probably fish Swale and Lyle point area. I'll keep you posted

They are off the Surfline of Tofino and chompingTough fishing for our crew the past couple days. Shaker city at every stop. Managing a couple fish everyday which are 9-12lbs. But overall slow fishing for legal fish. Back home now looking forward to my next trip!
Hopefully a new wave comes in soon.
