To make things even more exciting, the young ladies caught their first-ever chinook salmon! Both girls persevered and hung in through a day of fishing, and one evening the bite took off, getting them each a 20lb salmon which they fought and landed on their own. We had the pleasure of hosting BC Outdoors’ Mike Mitchell and his two daughters Marleigh and Madeline at Moutcha Bay Resort last week as they filmed an episode for BC Outdoors Sportfishing TV. Our local rivers are fairly low right now with current warm weather and low rainfall, so best freshwater opportunities are very early mornings and late evenings for Rainbows and Cutthroat. Our guided guests have had the pleasure of excellent fishing with the added bonus of plenty of whale and sea otter viewing. We’ve definitely got a healthy population out there right now. Jigging offshore has resulted in lots of larger-than-average sized ling cod. We’re also seeing a fair amount of keeper ling cod in and around our salmon spots. Given the recent calm weather, bottom fishing has been fantastic with plenty of halibut hitting the docks. Be sure to read the regulations closely before heading offshore for closed sub-areas and Chinook size restrictions. Other great news for Nootka Sound anglers this month – as of July 15th our offshore retention restrictions have been lifted and anglers can retain 2 Chinook salmon up to 80cm each! We’re seeing lots of fish landed in offshore waters. ![]() Anglers can fish the local inside spots with confidence now. Our local spots including Camel Rock are all productive right now, and we are still waiting for the even bigger mid-summer push of local Chinook to show up inside. Fishing has been excellent in both inside and outside waters for the last two weeks.
