Saltwater Fishing Report

Campbell River area 7 day fishing report ending Dec. 27, 2009.

Cape Mudge: The most productive part of the winter Chinook season is taking place right now. Many reports coming in of excellent fishing with a lot of anglers being able to retain two fish. There are some fairly large fish mixed in with the just-legal ones.

The Hump: Now is a good time to fish the Hump. Winter Chinook that congregate at the south end of Quadra tend to migrate from the Light to the Hump and back. Jigs can be especially effective on these aggressively feeding fish.

Shelter / Willow Point: Plenty of action between the two points this week, with some nice sized fish being caught.There has been quite a bit of effort as fishing is great and the weather has been co-operating.

Excellent prawning reported in most areas. Prime time for prawns is just around the corner.

Courtenay Area: Lake fishing has been the focus the past month. While inflows are still abundant, fishing around creek mouths can be quite productive.

Freshwater Fishing Report

Gold River: Winter Steelhead season is truly underway with fresh fish being caught in the Gold with each rain. The river has been low for awhile up until now, so the next thaw and increase in levels should bring in more fish.

Salmon River: Searun Cutthroat can be found throughout the Salmon. These fish can attain quite a size, some reaching 4-5 lbs. While it is early for winter Steelhead in the Salmon, There are more than likely a few fish coming in.

Campbell River system: The Quinsam dropped into high fishable shape last week after the snow melted. There have been reports of a few winter Steelhead being caught in the Quinsam, the Campbell should be producing a few as well.

Oyster River: Searun Cutthroat are prevalent in the Oyster and can be found in most runs below the Little Oyster confluence.This is a good time of year to fish for them while also prospecting for early winter Steelhead.

Lake Scene: As winter approaches, trout in local lakes are feeding as much as possible while there is food. Cutthroat are beginning to stage closer to creekmouths until spawning time. For gear anglers,try spoons, spinners, worms or roe. Large aquatic insect patterns and leaches ae a good bet for fly anglers.
