For fathers day the Quinsam Hatchery are suppose to release 500 larger cutties into the drink. I was working but popped up around 5pm & I didn't see anything resembling a larger fish....last year it was great I was just wondering if they actually got released?

Some Big Qualicum River Cutthroat

I just caught (and released) my first ever cutthroat from the salt this morning. Fry imitations were being completely ignored so I gave a Tom Thumb a try and hooked this little guy almost immediately.

It's been a very busy month along the East Side of the Island with the Herring in the billions and their eggs in the Trillions...the Seagulls in the many thousands and the Sea Lions and Seals almost as plentiful...and with all that craziness the cutties disappear for good reason...BUT..they are...
