BDogeh- yeah it is a loaded question but I have to admit I prefer WH over Nootka. WH is way bigger water, more edgy and so far fewer fishermen. WH is also more weather sensitive and further away. On the plus side , crab, lots more Hali and bottom fish and more importantly to me far fewer fishermen. Your timing for WH is probably wrong-if the rains come there will be few fish around. We usually go up for what we call gentlemen's fishing around the 5th to 8th of sept chasing coho in quotsino (last trip of the year for me)-having said that if it starts raining continuously those days maybe late. WH is not a place to take lightly, takes a little study and preparation but the size of fish, more liberal application of laws(read simpler) and uncrowded conditions make it my choice. I don't mind helping guys out by pm for specifics or on here for generalities. I moved my regular fishing from Nootka about 18years ago because of what was happening there-moved back a bit more this year due to crew schedules but am going up again as soon as I get weather.
