Strong start for the Salmon Seeker

Queen Charlotte Islands Fishing Resorts - June 10, 2009

Good morning anglers. We’re back at Givenchy Anchorage in the western Queen Charlotte Islands and fishing has already taken off.

The fair weather that Salmon Seeker enjoyed for the trip north has stayed with us to provide a pleasant start to the 2009 season. Our first group of guests had a great start to their trip on the first full fishing day. Lots of action on Chinook with five Chinook over 30 landed today. The big one was Ron Robinson’s 39 pounder.

Not much halibut action as the focus was more on salmon, as is usually the case on the first day, but an 86 pounder was brought in – probably an accident!

Lots of Coho around at the moment – unusual for this early in the season. Pretty small, of course, topping out at eight pounds, but lots of fun on light tackle.

Weather prospects look good right through Saturday.
