Captain Bruce put two anglers on a double header today out of Discovery Passage. Both winter Chinook came up chrome bright in the 10-12 lb range — healthy feeders holding deep in 7.6°C water. The bite came as current eased toward the afternoon slack, trolling the edges where bait was stacking up. Conditions were about as good as February gets on the water — calm seas, broken clouds, light wind out of the northeast. The winter Chinook fishery in Campbell River is one of the best-kept secrets on the coast. These fish are aggressive feeders and they fight well above their weight class. Captain Bruce runs 4-hour trips aboard the Boston Whaler Montauk, departing three times daily from Discovery Harbour Marina. Two-person trips mean personalized attention and more time on fish.
