Anyone know approx what percentage of the cohos will be hatchery? 10% 20%? Last year I hooked a lot of hatch coho but only a small number of them were hatchery.

Sorry typo....last year I hooked quite a few cohos with only a very small number being hatchery...is 10-15% of the coho caught at SH being clipped a reasonable estimate of the actual numbers of hatch vs wild or did I just get unlucky last year?

Smoke, moths, and the plague. Only thing missing is locusts. Out at sandheads with the fleet. Passed the whales on the way here - they were headed north. Nothing yet for us, but have just seen a couple nets so hopefully the bite is coming on.

Water is not bad at all. Visibility about a mile.

Nobody knows. Unclipped doesn’t mean wild.

Started at SH 6:30am
2 in the box. 70 feet deep/ bait.
Just left. Orcas liked us for some reason.
250 plus boats at SH. Donkeys everywhere.
2 road launch gong show with donkeys that hold up the launch cause they want to put in, go back to their vehicles to carry all their stuff to their boats.
Saturday’s are when all the donkeys come out.

"Only thing missing is the locusts" LOL. We need a Moses to lead us to the fish.
Has anyone seen the orcas lately, hopping to show my little one.

The tour boats were still around Point Atkinson at 12PM when I came back through with my buddy in tow but I didn't see any whales.

Early morning at SH was good. Cold, hazy and dark, but fishing was good till orcas and sea lions had a feast. Windy but waves were not bad. Landed 2 chinooks at 60 feet on the DRs, lost one. Also landed a wild Coho that we released. Air was really bad though with the smoke.

You are correct. I talk to someone who said they couldn't get enough people to clip. So they just released them all at the hatchery. Iam sure if they ask for help they would get some volunteers.

I heard they only clip 10% of the hatchery fish in BC.
