FISHING: Good
Gold River; those first, active summer Steelhead are starting to show up in the gold system, and now is the time to do some scouting. Typically most of the action is in the lower end of the Gold but some fish continue to move upstream rapidly until they decide to stop and hold in favourable pools. Summer Steelhead fishing can be a sight fishery so always be cautious about spooking fish. In pools where fish are visible, approach them from behind in order to prevent them from scattering in every direction, spoiling any chance of hooking one for several hours. Fly-fishing is a favourite method for many anglers, as these fish will come to both dry and wet flies. Some of the best patterns are Rob’s Ugli flies, bead head nymphs, Stimulators, Muddler Minnows and deer hair mouse patterns.
Salmon River; any time now, summer Steelhead bound for the White river will begin entering the Salmon River making themselves available for catching. These fish, along with Sea-Run and resident Cutthroat and Dolly Varden make the Salmon and it’s tributary the White River great places to fish during the summer.
Campbell River; The Sea-run Cutthroat fishery continues on the Campbell with the estuary being the most popular spot. Upriver, some resident rainbow are holding in pools feeding on the insect hatches happening during the mornings and evenings.
Oyster River; Sea-run Cutthroat activity continues in the estuary and upstream to the 19a bridge. The upper Oyster opens later July 1 and fishing should be excellent for the Sea-Run and resident Cutts that have migrated upstream in search of food.
Lake Scene; Good Lake fishing continues in the Campbell River area. There are 30 lakes within a 30-mile drive of Campbell River, many of which are stocked with both Cutthroat and Rainbow trout. During the heat of the Day, fishing can be a little slow but in the mornings and evenings, fishing has been excellent. Congratulations to Wade Birchard of Campbell River Doors for organizing the father’s day derby on Campbell Lake. There were over two hundred participants. Francis Drake took the top prize, a Bucks Bags Pontoon boat supplied by Tyee Marine
