After a very good Sockeye & Pink salmon fishery, (Sockeye will be closing at midnight tonight for retention) we now set our sights on the fall Chinook, which are some of the largest fish of the year! The Point Grey area in English Bay (Vancouver Harbour) has been producing some Chinook recently, while trolling with Sockeye gear. Now that the Pink & Sockeye dwindle in numbers in English Bay, using bait (both anchovy & herring) is the way to go for these bigger migratory fish. The Capilano River mouth area has started to produce some nice fish during the course of the last few days. Chinook in the ‘teens’ and ‘low twenties’ (pounds) are most common presently, with the odd fish in the ‘thirties’! Mixed in with the larger Chinook are some nice Coho as well as some ‘Jacks & Jills’ (mature under-size Chinook). These are smaller mature Chinook that return a year early to make sure that in case of a lack of males or females on the spawning grounds, they will move in and let nature take its course. This fishery should produce well up until the second or third week in October, or possibly longer if there is a drier fall season.
