Expect excellent fishing at King Pacific Lodge Milbanke Sound.

In recent days we’ve had some truly remarkable fishing. “We’re just thrilled to be here. The lodge and fishing grounds are beyond our expectations” Stated Meghan as her fish was lifted from the boat on her first full day of fishing. “Forty Pounds!”

Northwest winds are easing and anglers are enjoying sunshine and calm seas along most of our areas shoreline.  Hot spots still include Cheney and Cheney II. “The Notch” has produced quality fish at deeper depths.

Our largest Coho of the season was weighed in earlier today at 14 pounds. Coho will continue to grow in size as they approach nearby spawning headwaters. Milbanke Sound holds an abundance of baitfish and entices fish to stay close all season.

Our resident Sea Otters continue to be spotted along the local shoreline feeding on  Sea Urchin. Their increasing abundance helps control the Urchin populations which feed on Kelp. More Kelp equals more habitat for fish of all description.

With so much to do and see at King Pacific Lodge, we’re the perfect place for family or corporate entertainment. We look forward to staying in touch.

The weather and fishing continues to be great at Milbanke Sound.

Mild winds continue to provide comfortable fishing conditions and anglers have had easy access to fishing areas.

Chinook continue to be in good abundance and average size has been in the high teens – low twenty’s.  A nice 31b tyee hit the dock last night and word is there are a couple more coming in today.

West Sport Fishing guide Ronnie Gunn was the first back to the dock this morning at 8am with his guests. Having already played thirteen Chinook and keeping the last two for their trip; coming back to the lodge for a late breakfast and AM Massage seemed the thing to do!

And, now guide Harry Neilson is back to the dock after his guests played a dozen or so fish – bringing back a 27lb and 26lb Chinook.

Doesn’t seem to matter what the lure is today – everyone’s using different gear and having success!

Time to get out there myself…

Fishing continues to be excellent at Milbanke Sound! The very first boat back to the dock 8am had four Chinook salmon! Fish are between 14 and 24lbs with the largest coming in at 36 pounds! Most anglers are reporting catches this am of several Chinook per guest.

The weather is fantastic with very light winds and calm seas. Cape Mark and Cheney II seem to be the hot spots.

Other than the fishing we’ve seen some amazing wildlife including our local white wolf, an eagle on the dock, killer whales, sea otters and river otters.

Wow!

Chinook and Coho salmon continue to roll in at West Sport Fishing’s King Pacific Lodge!

While the afternoon Northwest Winds have proven a challenge, the early morning bite right through to mid day has been strong. Anglers are experiencing consistent action and happy smiles!

Hot spots continue to be Cape Mark, Cheney Point and Cheney II. Popular baits include our quality Herring and Anchovy. The guides have been trying many different types of artificial lures including spoons and squid “hoochies” with green, white and black combinations. Depths are typical at 45 – 65ft and close to the shore.

This morning, Jim Cuthbert and Brian Hayes (Victoria BC) hoist a mornings catch after releasing six others.  Congratulations!
