Sunshine Coast/Texada/Powell River

[zugger]

Hi there,

I am looking to do some salmon fishing along the sunshine coast up to powell river.

Just wondering if anyone has some tips on best time of year for what species and methods .....i hear mooching is the way to go off of texada.

thanks to anyone that can point me in the right direction.....maybe suggest a few spots i should try.

THanks
Mike

begining of august is when alot of the runs start to show up. lang creek has is a hatchery creek and because of big numbers/water lvls low the fish will hold out in the bay and a bay very close to it, this year coming up is a pink year so you can fish for those, coho's, springs, and chum. if you wanna be down rigging then i've been hearing about fish being caught at grants reef and vananda(texada)
hope that helps

thanks very much for the tip


where is lang creek?

[tbar24]

lang creek is in powell river. if you come off the ferry from saltery bay and drive intowards town you'll see a big dirt pull out for the hatchery and the rivers right there. i dont know much about sechelt/gibsons area but im sure there is a few good salmon runs there

We'll be there for a couple weeks starting in early August...will know
more after I've had a few days on the water.



But it should be a pink year -- and they're always fun a fly.

chapman is better than lang for freash water, but the beach in front of my house is killer in july agust like tbar told ya .jared comes all the way out from the east coast! its that good some times.coho will be here soon and the pinks to. im hitting lots of sea runs right now pushing up bait on the beach.:yeah:

[tbar24]

are you hittin the cutties in front of lang or infront of kelly? i went to lang a few days ago and got winded out of there and thats about the second time ive had to call it quits cause of wind this month, definetly want the wind to stop

the beach and the bolder gardens half way to the point. my bay is good to but definitely creek side of the point.

Good for you! Try not to pierce ALL their lips before I get out there in Aug...
