With more reliable and predictable weather forecasts, anglers can more easily get offshore for bottom fishing, making halibut a favourite species to target. In sunny July and August, prevailing northwest wind systems become commonplace. This summer, we also anticipate a phenomenal return of southbound coho salmon, a good number of which come directly against the Nootka Sound shorelines. Fish in the upper 20-lb to lower 30-lb range are still here in Nootka Sound, thanks to the efforts of our local hatchery programs. As they start to turn the corner onto the sheltered inside waters of the sound, these big salmon come within easy reach.

There is still some in the freezer, and each time I use a fillet of fish my mind wanders back to 5 memorable in company with nice and helpful people.This is the time of year when anglers are most likely to have a crack at larger-than-average Chinook salmon, thanks to the very successful supplementation efforts of local hatcheries which are producing enormous returns of larger local fish, coastwide. of nice fish - salmon, lingcod and halibut. I had 5 fantastic days on Nootka Island Lodge. Joe and I had good fun teasing each other. My first fishing partner got seasick, but the following day I got a new one.

We fished more than 8 hours a day on the full days and about 4 - 5 hours on the day of arrival and departure. Bill cleaned and filleted the fish I caught, and afterwards they were vacumpacked and frozen. The evening meals were 3 courses and on top of that Tim went around with his rolling table and gave us tastings of salmon. We caught a lot of different fish and my guide Bill gave good advice when we were fighting the salmon. The guide had rods, baits, lures and wheels - everything, even refreshments and coffee. The lodge had equipped us with raingear and wellies. The boats had big engines and we were moving fast. We arrived at 2 o´clock and had early dinner at 5 and then went fishing. I was on my own but was teamed up with some nice guys. Nice clean rooms, good toilet and bathing facilities. I was co-pilot and enjoyed the fligt which lasted about 20 minutes.
