King Pacific Lodge Fishing Update July 2
Fishing Report July 2
The 2025 season is now well under way as we are into our 5th trip. It’s been a great start with so many happy guests, with most already making plans for next season! July started off with a bang as we celebrated Canada Day with an amazing display of fireworks! Thanks to Pyro Pete for doing such a fantastic job! Check out this link for a short video:
The fishing in the last week has produced some nice fish, but they seem to be scattered around our different fishing areas and you had to be in the right place at the right time to get into a bite of feeding chinook. All of our usual spots, Cheney, Cheney 2, Cape Mark, Thompson Bay, Louisa Cove and Reginald Island all had their moments. Idol Point has also produced some fish for those who want to explore a little bit.
Early Coho are have been a nice surprise and are continuing to grow in numbers. We have seen some 9 and 10 lbers brought to the dock which are quite large for this time of year, most averaging in the 5 – 6 lb range.
Ling cod have been quite plentiful, trolling or jigging along drop-offs and along the kelp. Most lings are in the 7 – 12 lb range with a few in the mid to high teens. Of course, we recommend releasing anything over 20 lbs as they are all females and are the breeders that will keep us fishing for years to come!
For those who want to put some time in, halibut are around and are being found at depths of 250 – 350 ft.
We have had several amazing whale shows, with the resident orcas passing through and wowing people with some acrobatics. Always cool to see, but in all honesty, best to see it on the way home from fishing!!

The weather has smartened up and has been providing great water conditions and very little rain. Perfect fishing weather. The forecast for the next week or so looks to be much of the same so that’s great and allows us to fish all of our possible fishing grounds.
Great start to the season and its looking like it will continue to be a productive one to remember! We do have a few spots available in late August and early September. That time of year still produces spring salmon and historically has produced our largest coho of the year; so don’t delay in contacting us if you are looking for a great fishing experience.
Tight Lines! And we’ll talk again in a week or so!
