About Georgia Strait
If the start of this year is any indication on how the fishing will be in our local waters we’re in for a great season! The “Winter Chinook” fishing is the best it been in years. Many fisherman are reporting good early season catches.
Winter Chinook salmon will hold in our area providing there’s some bait (usually Herring) for their hearty appetite. I have caught these salmon from December well into and past April. “Out Front” of French Creek Harbour on the humps and Ballenas Islands are good areas to try for early season Chinook salmon. In May and June we can have great fishing as migratory Chinook salmon pass through our waters heading for their native rivers, such as the Columbia River Chinook run. Sangster Island and Young Pt. can be productive areas for migrating salmon.
July can be a transition time, however last year we had Coho and Chinook salmon remain in our area through the summer, and with Pink salmon being an odd year predominant run the fishing should remain steady.
In August our resident Chinooks start to make their way home for some final feeding in preparation to head up both the Little Qualicum and Big Qualicum Rivers. When these Chinooks start to stack up near the end of the month its quite a spectacular fishery for trollers and jiggers alike.
We have our local French Creek Salmon Derby slated for August 14-16, 2015. This is a fun event for all ages, with lots of great prizes. All the proceeds from the derby go to the Marion Baker Fish Hatchery ( Coho enhancement) on French Creek.
You round out September with some great late season Chinook fishing, the Coho also start to stack up along the beach as well. Not to be over looked is the steady bottomfishing for Lingcod, and Rockcod open from May 1-September 30. Crabbing and Prawning is also productive in our area.
