Powell River -- any pinks/cohos showing yet?

**jared** · July 31st, 2006, 12:12 PM

I realize it's a litle early yet, but the anticipation is killing me!
Any pinks and/or cohos showing yet around the Brew Bay, Lang Creek, Lang Bay area yet?

Heading up in mid-August for a few weeks.

Thanks!

Sorry for the delay in posting a report. In a word, the fishing was way off this year. Fish were late
in returning and what fish were around were pretty low in numbers. Overall, I hooked only 6 fish,
landing 5 of them. An absurd ratio to be sure, but was expecting much more action than that.

All cohos -- two largest were 10lbs & 7lbs -- second one was the first salmon I've ever hooked
that actually had the fly down his throat as though he really wanted to eat it! Figured I had a new
answer, but after only a smattering of a few short strikes, this clearly wasn't the magic key. Went
back to the streamers we normally fish and got better response.

Saw one small pod of pinks one morning, but that was it. (even in "off" years, we've always
caught some, but not this time around....)

Still, despite low catching numbers it was a great trip. Can't wait until next year!
