Vancouver/Howe Sound was good for Chinook in April/May. Didn't have as many fish in June, but still some good fishing. July fished over at Thrasher/Nanaimo and hit some Chinook, found the fish much deeper than I have ever fished. Picked a couple up at 290 feet. August has been decent around Vancouver, haven't been out in September. I have found in August, that when the bite is on its on and then you have longer periods of just smaller undersize chinook. Seem to catch as many as previous years, just in smaller windows of time.
I did 2 trips to the west coast of the island. One to Esperenza and one to Tofino. Fishing in Esperenza was tougher, mainly due to winds, but still caught lots of Chinook. Not as many larger ones and had to be able to be adaptive in techniques and not stick one method. Tofino wasn't as good as last year, but still got some Chinook and had one half day of fishing, where we went 15 for 22. Stacking a small herring aid 10 feet above a hoochie or anchoive picked up the biggest Chinook at 25 pounds.
