Just looked at the forecast for the next 3-4 days ......
I’m already dusting off my prawning and winter trolling gear. 2021 was a write-off in my books anyway. 15 days of cra**y fishing and the first major rain is coming in. Add the seiners to this mix and you better hit the rivers for some hike and cast workout.
Going to plan my next summer around this year’s closures and be done by end of August. Our local fishery has become a joke thanks to DFO’s management of resources- managing to zero it is!

Very nice !
I was there yesterday as well, for the afternoon flood. Landed 1 spring , 2 Coho.
Also lost 1 spring. Snapped Leader : (
Yes, the fleet was quite orderly over all. Maybe because about half of the pack was guide boats ?
I counted 9 gradys.

Haha yep just to scratch the itch
Already did. Not putting a whole lot of hopes in any of the 4 “leaders” though. Gotta go somewhere else to find the fish. I’ve been involved in habitat protection and have spent a sh*tload of my personal time to volunteer at local hatcheries. This year’s closure and the run size was really a slap in the face. I had days in April and May that I caught 4-5 hatchery fish in an outing but then we know what was our share of the pie.

ive caught fish up to oct 11th. lost a decent spring last year at exactly that time. right at sunset off ambleside I was fighting it. I pulled 90 degrees to the current to head out and avoid bottom. I lifted that side downrigger this fish planted itself under the boat I saw it briefly before that. It refused to move I knew if I muscled it it would likely break off. It then shot down towards the back of the boat over and across the opposite downrigger and snapped off.
So this year Ill keep wire cutters directly under that downrigger. switching to braid next year and ill keep a knife attached to the boat. if im fighting a decent fish and the downriggers dont cooperate im cutting it off screw the tackle.

Those are one and the same just a massive area of water with multiple zones within.

Fish don't care about the wind!
Saw you on the water and at Cates afterwards.I was on a Blue thunder craft and we launched out of cates as well. First boat there at 6:00 and probably last one off the water when the fog rolled in. 1 coho and 1 dirty pink to show for 10 hours of work. Forgot to ask how deep were you fishing? The previous outings we had success around 65’ on the DR in 130 FOW. Should have fished the bottom from what I gathered.

I'm pushing into it towards the pink apartments it's still lumpy but way better towards Ambleside.
