FISHING REPORT                                    

Just for the Halibut!!   The Sports Fishing Last Season was HOT!!

It was the BEST YEAR fishing recorded in TWENTY years. Not only were lots of fish caught but they were huge. The Chinook were averaging 30lbs plus. Our customers landed over 176 Chinook in the 30 to 53lbs range. The largest weighed in at 531bs caught by Brian Hay from Lacombe, Alberta. In addition the Coho Salmon showed up as early as June ninth and stayed until September providing us with boundless action through out the day and limits of four per day.

Limits were caught in the species of Ling Cod, Snapper, and last but not least Halibut. The grand-daddy, (excuse me grand-ma... .females are the only ones that get that big) of the Pacific flat fish were taken throughout the season. This Halibut fishery was as good as ever. The Barn Door winners last year was caught by Kevin Sparks of Comox BC. and Dave Rudolph of Alberta. Both fish weighed in at 125 pounds

GREAT NEWS!!

If you were one of the few that were fortunate enough to fish last season you would have to assume this must mean the 2010 season is to be just as good. You may find this hard to believe. It’s going to be better? Even I find it hard to believe. How could it be better when last season not only were clients limiting out but they enjoyed fishing that produced many double and triple headers throughout the day including the odd quadruple. Well, according to all records, not only are there going to be more Chinooks but they will be showing up in great numbers as early as mid May. Even our own diaries and records that go back thirty years show that this fishery will be the year of plenty.

Rumours through the fishing community is that there is going to be a large number of Chinooks, your king of springs, could be landed that weighs in over 100 lbs. The largest years are 78 pounds by Fred Plewis of Terrace BC and a whopping 92 POUNDER caught by Gary Olson of Idaho Falls Idaho. As well,

the Coho outlook is expected to improve
(IT’S GOING TO GET BETTER???) And provide recreational limits of four per day in most central coast areas.

Don’t forget!!
There’s still Halibut Heaven and they have proven to be a consistent fishery and will continue to do so throughout this years season. One of our biggest halibut, in past seasons was boated by Darcy Ratzlaff of Valleyview, Alberta. It weighed in at 300 pounds.
