September 6, 2015

We were delighted to have guests with us until the 5th of September.

The 2015 season has now sadly come to an end and we’re already planning for next year!

During our last week of operation, anglers worked hard and fishing continued to be quite good. Ray and Dale played multiple Chinook and between them landed three over 30lbs for the trip.  Erik and Heather landed a beauty at 36 pounds. Many nice halibut were caught including a massive 27o pound monster halibut Clayton released after measuring. Many more halibut in the 40 – 60 pound range were taken.

Fishing was spread out and anglers seemed to be fishing many more spots than usual. These included areas as far away as Ivory Island, Idol Point and Cape Mark. Long term favourite flasher and hoochie combinations seemed to work best with even the largest of salmon being taken on these lures.

Coho are in good abundance and the average size phenomenal. Here, Chloe Cuthbert holds up two beauties at 17 pounds each.

“We’re having a great time!” were the words of nine year old Matthew Walker. After less than one hour’s fishing the day of arrival and Guided by Ronnie Gunn and Fisher Cuthbert, Matthew and his father landed a beautiful 27lb Chinook. Congratulations!

As we enter the last few days of August the Chinook and Coho fishing remains spectacular. The weather however has taken a turn for the past 24 hours and we’re experiencing some of the heaviest winds of the season.  We’re not alone though. Vancouver is currently experiencing more than half a million people without power – and, we’re still fishing!

Milbanke Sound is known for both fantastic fishing and having a very close proximity to the fishing grounds. At times of heavy weather, the winds often sail right over our calm water fishing areas. These unique fishing conditions allow for excellent catches. Here, Derek Kirkpatrick shows off a beautiful Chinook weighing over 20 pounds!

The last week has produced some very nice fish including several Tyee over 30 pounds and Coho are now often over 15 pounds. This time of year also makes an incredible place for children to experience an abundance of fish and wildlife before heading back to school.

We’ve enjoyed an excellent season and could not have hoped for a more productive salmon run in 2015.
