Saltwater Fishing Report

Campbell River area fishing report for week ending June 27, 2009.

Cape Mudge: Great fishing at the north end of Georgia Strait again this week. We've had numerous reports of excellent fishing from customers and have had several larger fish entered in the Tyee Marine Derby. The hot ticket in tackle right now is the Tiger Prawn Haze hoochie, a U.V. version of the old reliable.

The Hump: The Hump is producing as well as the "Ozone" between the Light and the Hump. There are Dogfish around so artificial baits are recommended. Baitrix baits are scented, but they do not attract Dogfish.

Shelter / Willow Point: Good fishing along the shoreline from Willow Point to Salmon Point.The average size of fish is increasing somewhat as Chinook maturing this year are mixed in with feeders. Fish in the high teens to mid twenties are becoming more frequent here as June approaches.

Tyee Marine is sponsoring a Salmon Derby which runs all summer. First prize is three nights accomodation at Critter Cove Resort. There are great prizes for the top two runners-up Salmon as well as hidden weight prizes.The current leader is Lawrence Peck of Courtenay with a 28.25 lb. Chinook caught just off the Kitty Coleman Hump, June 8. Derby details in store.

Prawning continues to be very productive. Some of the tighter spots faired well during the commercial season.

Lingcod and Rockfish both opened for retention May 1.In area 13 and 14, the size limit for Lingcod has been reduced to 60cm to reduce Rockfish encounters.Populations of Lingcod are good, giving anglers a good chance to catch them.

Courtenay Area: Bates beach and Kitty Coleman continue to produce a lot of fish. Anglers are reporting some of the best fishing in years near Courtenay.

Reports of good lake and stream fishing have been coming in from all over the area. Hatches are beginning to happen on warm days, stimulating dry fly action.

Freshwater Fishing Report

Gold River: There should be a few early summer run steelhead arriving at the gold and tributaries any time now.

Salmon River: Sea-Run and resident Cutthroat are prevalent in the Salmon at this time of year. Early summer-run Steelhead bound for the White River can sometimes be found below the confluence of the White and Salmon.

Campbell River system: Searun and resident Cutthroat have been evident in the Campbell and Quinsam. These fish are taking flies, artificial baits and hardware. There have been reports of a few early summer run Steelhead being caught in the Campell.

Oyster River: Searun Cutthroat beginning to show in the river and at the mouth. June is one of the best months to fish for these beauties.

The annual Rainbow migration into the Elk River is well underway. The fish are not large, but they are plentiful. These fish seem to favour small beadhead Hare's Ears and similar flies.

Lake Scene: Fishing success is increasing as water temperatures slowly begin to increase. Some local lakes have been stocked with catchable sized fish. As always, worms, roe and hardware will all work as well.
