Any word out of winter harbour lately? Im supposed to be going there Friday with a group.
 
I just got back yesterday. The fishing was terrific. Springs out off Lawn Point at 245 feet. The water was great for the entire time we were there. The weather is turning with big winds predicted for the weekend.Lots of coho in Grants Bay and around Kains Island.
 
steelhead, heading up for work, boss is bringing his boat. any spots nearby you can suggest? Any info is appreciated
 
Will be heading up to Winter Harbor on the 18 for a couple of days I hope my luck holds with the weather gods. I``m 2 for 2 on my trips this year on the west coast for nice weather.
 
Its been blowing like a MF these past couple days and looks like it might continue for a few more.........crazy butt winds right now.

Good luck HL, let us know how you make out.

Cheers

Scavenger,

Cup will be in McNeil on Aug 11, it's a Saturday. They will be doing something in town, nothing in stone yet but spoke with a great source just this morning that the 11th is the day.
 
Hello All,

New to the forum, looks like lots of good info and knowledgeable people!

Anyways just wondering if there is any pink action at the beaches in Hardy and McNeill yet. My wife and I and two friends are headed up there at the end of the month for fish the Cluxewe Beach. Sounds like the pinks are around but still out at sea for now. Anyone have an idea when the beach fishing should pick up?

Thanks!
 
Pinks are around now, but are still moving through, in about two weeks, they should be off the beaches. Just be aware of the one/person/day limit of the Clux.

Owen, are you in Hardy??

Cheers

Hardy is where I am. Fishing for pinks. Oh boy.... Fishing was slow and the winds picked up yesterday. Had to resort to drinking.
 
Hey Sitkaspruce,

I can't seem to find the one pink limit on the DFO web site. Can you tell me where you got this info? I remember a few year back it was just posted on trees at the campsite. Is this the case now?

Cheers and thanks
 
Any recent reports from the Winter Harbour side? ........ back from holidays and time to go fishing.

It is the hardest to find, I have complained about it but they do not seem to want to change it. It is on the second to last page of the "COHO and CHINOOK OPENINGS AND OTHER CLOSURES link found on the area 12 page.
