Nootka Sound Report - Fishing Report Fishing Report August 26, 2009 Inside Fishing: Guests who have put in the time here are being rewarded with catches of Chinook and Coho. Fishing has slowed down somewhat in the past two weeks however we are starting to see the fish surfacing as in previous years. MOUTCHA BAY is beginning to produce, as fish are moving in for spawning. Offshore Fishing: The offshore flood tide drift along BAJO REEF has yielded some nice Chinook; most of these fish are being found between 25-50 feet. Chinook have been found near Catala Island this week. Offshore (salmon highway) has been one of the best spots for Coho. There is a ton of herring massed offshore from Nootka Island right now, so the salmon have lots of reasons to stick around and feed. Bottom fishing has been fantastic the past few days. As a result of fair weather, fishermen have had an easy run to the fishing grounds. Many Halibut caught have been in the 30 pound range, and some in the 100’s. There have also been good numbers of Lingcod and Rockfish. Great News! There has been a recent Halibut rule change: the new limits are 2 per day, 2 in possession.
Best Times to Fish: *First light Catch of the week: Largest salmon this week was 56 pounds, caught within the last few minutes of the day. Largest released salmon was a 42lb. Chinook, caught at Bajo Reef. Nature Lovers : Numerous Humpback and Killer whales have been spotted around the Island recently, occasionally swimming close to our fishermen. The large schools of pilchards along the Nootka Island shoreline have been keeping the Bald Eagles well fed, with dozens of birds swooping down to snatch these fish with their talons. Special Events coming up: August 28-30 Moutcha Bay Kayak Tyee Fishing Derby September 11-13 Gold River Fishing Lodge’s Ultimate Adventure Weekend for the Mentally Challenged
