Trip Summary
July fishing forecast predicts a chookie mayhem, coho fireworks, and pink salmon on the way!
Campbell River is ? right now. The salmon bite is full throttle, and this month is shaping up to be one of the best we’ve seen in years.
Here’s what we’re catching at TD Coastal Adventures:
? Chinook (King) – 15–25 lbs and hitting deep! Tyee-class fish showing up daily. Spoons and anchovy rigs are dialed in at 130–180 ft.
? Coho (Silver) – First hatchery fish have arrived and they’re wild! Fast, aggressive, and crushing gear. Doubles and triples are happening when you find the schools.
? Lingcod & Rockfish – Bottom fishing is solid on the reefs when the tides play nice. Vertical jigs and bait combos are putting meat in the box.
? Halibut – Surprise slabs showing up on our full-day combos. Always a welcome bonus!
? COMING SOON: BIG PINK SALMON RETURN
Late July will bring waves of pinks — aggressive, fast-paced action perfect for light tackle and family fun. Forecasts show a strong return this year, so get ready for bent rods and big smiles.
? We’re fishing productive lanes off Mitlenatch Island, Cape Mudge, and the Green Can drift zones. We follow the bait and the birds — because that’s where the action is.
? Captain Dan’s Tip:
“Fish deep, fish bold. July rewards the ones who adapt fast and stay in the zone. If you’re not marking bait, move — the bite is there if you find it.”
? Prime spots are filling fast.
