A few more Coho have started showing up and fishing in Barkley Sound, Big Bank and in close to shore has been steady. Both Chinook and Halibut have continued to show decent numbers as the summer has progressed. We're mostly using Number Three Silver Horde Spoons close to shore.

Canada Day weekend was sunny and successful - check out some pictures below!
