Trip Summary
Trip Summary
With big winds in the Strait, we decided to stay close to home and take advantage of the amazing Coho and Chinook salmon fishing that Howe Sound has to offer. Currently the waters of Howe Sound are murky green from the vast amounts of Plankton which supports massive shoals of Herring and Anchovies.
Today was an amazing display of the life that is supported by these bait fish. A large group of humpback whales was breaching and rolling in the tide while we fished nearby, eating as many of the tiny morsels as they could. Gulls gathered in large groups and ealgles took thoer share as well. It was incredible....
Perhaps the most amazing part was the fishing. The same herring that brought the humpbacks was being attacked voraciously by hungry Chinook and Coho salmon. We could see the baitfish frantically boiling on the surface trying to avoid the jaws of the hungry hunters below, only to fall victim to the gulls above. It was truly natures poetry in motion.
These amazing days of fishing in June and early July are truly some of our favorite times to be around the Sound. Hatchery Coho salmon are now open for retention, we are still doing DNA sampling on Chinook salmon and prawning is still fairly productive. Reach out now and book your trip before you miss your chance to see the boom of life that early summer brings to Howe Sound.
