Yes it was. Next week i am heading over to Barkley for a week.
One hit for us, a 22lb red. Didn't see any action from the other boats, seems really spotty still.
So far this year in Vancouver area has been a bust , but thats FISHING....
Being from a 100 yr plus commercial fishing family here on west coast , i learned a few things ,
one is late fish dont ever show. so dont hold your breath waiting for them.
However as Dave just posted , we do have our own little gem fishery with the late Cap chinook.
We now need to lobby DFO and start getting some new genetics into the river ....eg. reds
I do look forward to a good late August September chinook fishery.
Tight lines everyone and remember ......right hand to the beach has the right of way.
It's a good rule coast wide and works well.

it works perfct at the cap....not at the Cap.
it works perfct at the cap.
if your tacking west with beach on your starboard on a flood tide....
Commercial trollers have used thhis rule for years and for good reason
it works!!!!
IT may work great for the comm cpts but could prove to be dangerous for a guy in a 16' tin can with a 26' on his bow expecting the 26' to give him the right of way ....
enough said and its only my 2 cents .... Time to go fishing !
On another note an internal memo is circulating around to the DFO officers that there will be no sockeye opening this year for recreational.... The socks live to be fished another day.
If they make it past the 15 FN gill nets between the mission bridge and the vedder they might live another day.
