Fresh Mount Waddington Fishing Reports

If you’re thinking about booking a trip… now’s the time. Today’s guest Kristin came aboard The Barb under sunny skies with one wish: “I just want to catch something.” She got her wish — and then some. First came a coho — quick and easy, like it volunteered for sashimi. Then came the Chinook. Ten minutes later? Bent rod, blistered hands, sore arms, and a whole new respect for what’s swimming beneath these waters. The July 15 Chinook opening is almost here — and these big salmon aren’t just showing up, they’re hitting hard. If you’ve ever wanted to feel the power of a real West Coast chinook ripping line while the rod bends low… this is your moment. Charter spots are still available — but not for long. ? Don’t wait. ? The bite is heating up. ? The big ones are already here. Book now and fish with Captain Dan aboard The Barb — where wishes come true, and sometimes leave a mark. #TDCoastalAdventures #CaptainDan #ChinookOpening #FishingBC #RodBendsSoulMends #July15IsComing #FishBookerReporti

Out on the water scouting for upcoming charters and had great action on the rods.

Fishing Report – July 1st Location: The Hump, Campbell River Depth: 255 ft Lure: Go Bananas Spoon Target Depth: 150 ft This morning’s trip delivered steady action and smiling faces! We were fishing the Hump in 255 feet of water, working gear at 150 feet, where a swarm of Coho lit up the sonar. Most of the activity came from wild and hatchery Coho, with a few powerful Chinooks crashing the party and giving us a workout before being released. The Go Bananas spoon was the clear winner today — flashing, dancing, and getting crushed on the troll. ✅ We kept a few fresh hatchery Coho for the BBQ and released all wilds with care. ? The fish are in, the bite is on, and July charters are filling up fast. Message Captain Dan to book your trip before it’s too late.

Local Beaver flights departing off my starboard side and local Coho flying in the air on my port side.

Keeping a bent rod is a challenge, Real got the hang of it. The group hooked up to coho, chinook, ligcod & rock fish.
