We didn't fish for salmon, but talked to a guy who boated several, including a 34lb'r in a bay half way between Centre Island and Saltery Bay on the Nootka side.Any salmon?

Might be heading up second week of August. Is there a salmon forecast for 2017. Also is mid August a bit late?
And should I expect fog
And is my trailer and truck safe at gold river launch. Is there a locked compound
I've done well usually last week of July, first week of august. others may have different opinions on that question... I've fished second week of august a couple times but fishing had definitely slowed down by then for me... I've found the fishing can sometimes be better than nootka, down near esperanza second week of august and later.Thanks for the info. When's the best time.
Hate to be up there with the run already ran
I'm real curious to know where abouts you were finding good crabbing? That's fantastic!Went to Nootka last weekend looking for some prawns and crabs. while the crabbing was pretty good, the prawning was terrible. Our prawn traps were filling with hake which i have not seen before in the sound. worst prawning i have ever seen as well, we ended up with 100 in 2 days. at least they were Jumbos. too windy to get offshore and look for any Halis.
Check when the gill netters will be setting their nets because it is usually around mid-August. Never been there when the gill nets are out, but I suspect it's not much fun for fishermen.....Might be heading up second week of August. Is there a salmon forecast for 2017.
