This week we hooked measured/photographed and released a 38inch by 20.5inch King (chinook/spring) Salmon that would have weight approximately 22lbs.
There is a good run of healthy large salmon making their way into the Oak bay Flats area as well as Constance bank so we have lots of options for some of the most spectacular Catch and Release salmon fishing on the coast!
Wether is getting spectacular. So Far All reports are showing a much much better Halibut year than the last 3 years although a lot of the fish are smaller the new regulations allow for 2 fish per day under 90cm per person or 1 over 90 and we can now keep up to 133cm again (about 80lbs) that extra 7 cm longer would have had us able to keep over 50% of the fish we had to let go due to oversize the past 2 years.
Salmon is currently Catch and release only but the fishing is excellent for them as there is little to no pressure on the fishery what so ever.
Rockfish and Lingcod are eager to take your hook and help make for some great fish tacos or fish and chips if somehow the halibut do not cooperate.
As of June 15th Anyone from BC can Travel to Victoria and July 1st Anyone in Canada and we are hoping that Aug 1st or no later than Sept 1st we can get our good friends from the US back visiting the region!!
I will be Double vaccinated on June 30th so I will be good to go for all visitors this summer.
August is already booking up very very quickly with quite a few days left in July but not for long once travel bans are lifted so if you want to get the good fishing tides in those months booked be sure to do it now or you will miss out.
Hope to see you on the water and be sure to book your family day or business day out with KingSize Adventures!
Captain King.
