FISHING: Good
Campbell / Quinsam Rivers: Chinook have begun to migrate into the Campbell in earnest this week with the rainfall induced higher flows now occurring in the Quinsam and Campbell. Coho have arrived in the Campbell as well with reports of fly anglers hooking them in the lower stretches of the river.
Gold River: The Gold came into winter fishing form this week with flows approaching 300 cms. This has pulled in a lot of Chinook that were waiting at the mouth of the river. Coho have also begun to enter the Gold. Summer Steelhead have become a little more aggressive with higher water and have been caught in the Gold and tributaries.
Salmon River: Rainfall has stimulated the migration of Chinook into the Salmon. Coho have also begun to arrive. Both Chinook and Coho can be caught with most types of tackle including flies.
Oyster River: Higher flows have allowed a lot of the pinks holding off-shore to head up-river. Coho have started to show up along the approaches to the Oyster and beach anglers will not be far behind them. Most beach fishing locally is done by fly anglers using small streamers like clousers and Morgan’s mashers.
Lake Scene: With increased inflows and cooler water temperatures, lake fishing is on the upswing. Trout feed aggressively at this time of year in preparation for winter. All sorts of tackle can be used from flies to worms and roe.
